“The only stupid question is the one you didn’t ask.”Kim Sankey
An appeal is usually the last resort when negotiations between parties has reached an impasse. The most common reason for an appeal is when an application for listed building consent or planning permission has not been determined in the statutory period of 8 weeks which is called non-determination.
Alternatively, we are often asked to act on behalf of building owners whose applications (by another Architect) has been refused and they will run two parallel schemes with a new scheme in tandem with the existing refusal to give them two options should only one be granted favourably.
We have a successful history of winning appeals and these have subsequently added value to the properties they pertain to, including private houses in Netherbury and Stalbridge.
Public inquiries and written representation are also methods of appeal which are less common as they are extremely time consuming and expensive, involving legal representation.
