Planning Objections and Representations

We provide professional planning advice and representation for individuals, communities, landowners, businesses and other interested parties who may be affected by proposed development or who wish to engage in the planning process.

This includes preparing planning objections, letters of representation and professional submissions in relation to planning applications, development proposals, local development plans, policy consultations and other planning matters where clients wish their views to be clearly and effectively presented.

We can advise on the planning merits of a proposal, identify relevant policy issues and prepare robust, well-reasoned representations grounded in planning policy and material considerations. Whether you are seeking to raise concerns about the potential impacts of a development, support a proposal or make representations on emerging planning policy, we can help ensure your views are presented in a clear, professional and effective manner.

You can read more about planning objections and representations, including who can make them, how they are assessed and the role they can play in the decision-making process, in our dedicated article here.

If you would like to discuss a proposed development, planning application, Electricity Act application or development plan on which you are considering making a representation, please contact us. We can provide professional planning advice and prepare representations on your behalf.
