Gaining planning permission when initial applications have been refused 

The process of gaining planning permission is a complex and often tortuous process. When applications are refused, as the land or property owner, you have the option to take the application to appeal. The process of appealing is more complex and demanding than the original application and taking experienced, professional advice is highly recommended to significantly improve the chance of a positive outcome. 
At Landscope we have significant experience at appeal – we have helped a significant number of clients to turn a refusal into permission through this process. From ideas still on paper, to buildings which have come under enforcement action, we have been able to help individuals and businesses to navigate the planning process successfully and secure their property developments.

Public Inquiries 

Public inquiries are a formal procedure led by an independent Planning Inspector, where evidence included in a planning application or appeal is tested by cross examination of expert witnesses, usually by barristers.Landscope is experienced in presenting evidence both in writing and in person, for the inquiry, preparing plans documents and briefs for submission, whilst negotiating matters of common ground with the planning authority. Strict timescales have to be met in order to comply with the process and deadlines must not be missed. 
In addition to helping private individuals and businesses, Landscope is also recognised as expert in agricultural and equestrian property, by a number of Local Planning Authorities across the Eastern and Midlands regions and is regularly brought in to provide independent witness on specialist cases. This has allowed us huge insight into the thoughts and processes the Local Planning Officers and Inspectors use when assessing applications and as result we can improve outcome at appeal.
