Don’t give up.
Hestia Planning will look for weaknesses within the refusal or strengths in your application that need to be better highlighted and pull together a case to support your application.
Around 70,000 planning applications are refused in England & Wales every year. Only 20% of those decisions are appealed – most people just give up.
We understand that a refused planning application can leave you feeling frustrated. A planning appeal is your one opportunity to completely over-turn the Councils refusal and gain planning permission, irrespective of what the Council think should happen.

What can you appeal against?
An appeal can be submitted by an applicant in respect of the majority of planning related decisions made by a local planning authority, this includes:
- Planning applications for development
- Applications for consent to display advertisements
- Applications for works to listed buildings
- Applications for works in conservation areas
- Application for certificate of lawful use or development
- Applications for works to trees covered by a tree protection order
- Against an enforcement notice requiring remediation of a breach of planning control
There are a three variations of planning appeal: Written representations, hearings and public inquiries.
The most common appeal is a written representation appeal, however we will assess the planning application and advise on the type of appeal required for the best chance of success.
