When the planning application process is unsuccessful, and the client makes a decision to appeal, our services can be useful if ecology impacts are one of the reasons for refusal. Our approach is firstly to negotiate with the local authority or stakeholders to try to resolve the objection and come to an agreement in advance of the public inquiry. This is often successful.
Occasionally positions become entrenched and the appellant has to provide written and/or oral evidence at a planning hearing or formal public inquiry. JFA are very experienced in doing this, and can assist appellant’s in presenting their case to help result in a favourable outcome.
