Expert Planning Conditions Appeal

If you have received planning permission from your local council, this is usually great news. However, some planning conditions can place restrictions on how you use or develop your property in the future. If a condition has been unreasonably imposed, or goes further than necessary, you have the right to appeal to the Planning Inspectorate to have it amended or removed.

A common example is when a Local Planning Authority removes Permitted Development Rights, meaning that future extensions or alterations would require planning permission even though neighbouring homes may not have the same restriction. Other conditions may limit occupancy, materials, use, or operational hours — all of which can affect the value and flexibility of your property.

At Cedar Planning, our Chartered Town Planners use their in-depth knowledge of planning legislation and appeal decisions to prepare clear, persuasive and professionally written appeal statements, giving you the strongest possible chance of success. We can also handle the submission and monitoring of the appeal on your behalf.

We offer a competitively priced, fixed-fee appeal service, and subject to availability aim to submit your appeal within two weeks of instruction.

You may also find our broader Planning Appeals and Planning Consultancy Services helpful if you are exploring wider planning options.

Maximise Your Chances of Success with Professional Appeal Representation

Appeal a Planning Condition

If you believe a planning condition is unnecessary, unreasonable, or fails to meet the six tests in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), we can assess whether an appeal is likely to succeed. Conditions must be:

• Necessary

• Relevant to planning

• Relevant to the development

• Enforceable

• Precise

• Reasonable

Conditions that do not meet these tests may be open to challenge. Cedar Planning can guide you through the process and prepare a strong, policy-led case for the Inspectorate.
