Planning Objections

Do you have concerns about a local development? We can represent your concerns and ensure they are taken seriously by the Planning Department.

If you have concerns or wish to object to a local development it can feel daunting, you may not know how to raise your objections or may feel that your concerns will not be taken seriously. Particularly if the Applicant is a major developer who is being represented by a large team of professional Planning Consultants.

Homeowners, community groups, parish and town Councils are increasingly finding that employing a Planning Consultant to write a professional objection letter really can make the difference between an application being approved or refused. It can help to ensure that your concerns about a development are taken seriously when considered by the Council’s Planning Department and the Planning Committee.

At Tadman Planning Consultants we act for clients who wish to object to a planning application by putting together a well-researched professional objection letter, clearly setting out the planning grounds on which it should be refused, identifying the weaknesses of the proposal and pointing out where it is contrary to policy, legislation and planning law.  

In addition, we can also represent you in person at the Planning Committee, presenting the objections to the application directly to the elected Members of the Council.

Tadman Planning Consultants can also represent you at an appeal against the refusal of planning permission by submitting further objections to the Planning Inspectorate and appearing in person at Hearings and Public Inquiries.   There are significant benefits to having professional representation at an appeal and gives you the best chance of getting the appeal dismissed.
