What is a Planning Appeal?
A Planning Appeal is the process of appealing to your local council to reconsider a planning application after it has been refused or dismissed by a planning committee. A Planning Appeal does not mean that if you appeal you will get your planning overturned, you must have a valid reason to appeal or feel that the planner dealing with your application has made an error.
If you find yourself in this unfortunate situation, you have come to the right place! Drawing and Planning are here to assist you with your appeal. We understand there are many firms out there offering the same service as us and you may have used one of these firms for your initial application. If you feel Drawing and Planning would be better suited to deal with your appeal please contact us immediately.
If you require planning permission or are considering a Change of Use from Commercial to Residential, Contact Drawing and Planning Ltd on 0208 202 3665 or fill in our enquiry form

Biggest shake up in planning regulations since First World War.
The chancellor George Osborne has announced that developers will no longer need planning permission to convert commercial property to residential, in a move that could see up to 250,000 new flats or homes across the UK.
The changes will also include a number of measures to streamline planning applications to remove bureaucracy from the system and speed it up. This will include a 12 month guarantee for processing all applications and appeals, with a fast track for major infrastructure projects.
Jeremy Stein, CEO of Drawing and Planning Ltd, London's leading property planning consultancy, said: "At present the local Councils inLondon are struggling to cope with the volume of existing planning applications. With the looming cuts to planning departments this new 12 month guarantee on applications and appeals only heaps the pressure on further".
The announcement comes as good news to developers and landlords, with vacancies in commercial property currently at an alarmingly high rate. Converting empty office blocks, warehouses and business parks into housing will relieve the strain on the industry and regenerate local communities. With a significant shortfall of affordable homes in many areas of the UK, any measures proposed to create more housing units should be welcomed.
Communities secretary Eric Pickles said: "We are unblocking the complex, costly planning system, regenerating redundant sites and putting the brakes on the years of Whitehall micro- management that has tied business up in red tape, slowing and stifling growth." This would put an end to the current system which is "plagued by conflict and appeals", he added.
The proposals to reduce the red tape involved in local planning decisions and speed up the process gives landlords and homeowners the ability to go ahead with developments without the associated headache. In addition to the obvious benefits, The 12 month guarantee will allow homeowners to adapt their homes as their family grows.
The Budget also pilots a new land auction scheme. This will see local councils auction off public sector land with pre-approved planning permission to encourage more areas to be developed. This could eventually lead to councils granting planning permission to private land owners prior to sale, receiving a share of the profit.
Commenting on the move by the government, James Rowlands, global policy and research manager at RICS, said "Although it would not be a solution to all problems this could represent the first step towards a vibrant and sustainable property market and help the economy recover".
Stein concluded "Its high time councils clued in to the large profits planning permission earns developers. A site that has planning permission is instantly more valuable". He suggested the change should come from the private sector. Individual homeowners and developers will ultimately satisfy the demand for additional dwelling space".

Drawing and Planning have today taken another huge step forward by launching their Commercial Planning Consultancy (www.drawingandplanning.com/commercial). This new arm of the business now extends the unique local London Council planning and architectural drawing services to commercial property owners, giving them the opportunity to gain planning permission for less than half the price of traditional architects and planning consultants.
There are many laws, regulations and guidelines which a local council will use to make a decision on a commercial planning application. It is therefore beneficial to use a planning consultant or architect, but one of the first thing that comes to mind is the expense, so many try to go it alone or face large bills. Drawing and Planning offer an inexpensive service to help our customers achieve first time planning application success.
Drawing and Planning’s Commercial Consultancy Director Alan Chambers said "I am delighted that in such a short space of time we are able to launch our one of a kind services to the Commercial sector. Due to unpresented demand, our new Commercial Planning Team are already working on a number of high profile applications"
