Overview
Hadleybrooks provides clear, proportionate and commercially focused advice for planning appeals.
The purpose of the report or advice is to identify the relevant planning issue, explain the evidence,
address the policy test and provide conclusions that can be understood by clients, officers, consultees
and decision-makers.
The scope can be tailored to the scale and complexity of the project, from a concise advice note to a
detailed planning report or assessment.
Typical scope
This service can include:
- Review the decision notice, officer report and reasons for refusal.
- Identify the strongest appeal route, evidence requirements and procedural risks.
- Prepare proportionate written representations with a clear planning balance.
- Respond to council and third-party arguments where required.
- Advise on revised scheme options where an appeal is not the best route.
Outputs
Outputs may include planning statements, advice notes, assessment reports, appeal statements,
representations, audit reports, rebuttal documents and recommendations for the next planning step.
