When a development proposal is submitted for planning permission, neighbouring individuals or groups may submit written representations or objection letters to the local planning authority. These representations outline concerns, objections, or support for the proposed development, highlighting how the project may impact them or their properties.

Our approach
Theme coloured bar appears after heading text

Our aim is to help you voice your concerns effectively through written representations, ensuring that your objections are considered during the planning decision-making process.

 

Through consultation about the proposed development and understanding your concerns or objections regarding its potential impact, we are then able to guide you on how to structure and articulate your objections effectively.
