The majority of our work is made up of promoting developments on behalf of clients. However, we do get called upon to advise on objections to planning applications regularly.
Last year we were asked by a client to assist some family members who had major concerns over a proposal to extend a holiday caravan site immediately abutting their garden - which forms part of a Grade 2 Listed converted former farm complex. Very conscious that we act extensively in the caravan and tourist sector supporting proposals, it was an unusual role for us to be presenting an objection. However there was a clear basis for doing so on a number of grounds and our expertise of the caravan sector was brought to bear.
After presenting those objections on behalf of a residents group to the Council, the application was refused and an appeal lodged. We were further instructed to prepare the residents case for the appeal to be dismissed and recently attended the Hearing event to present their case. We ensured the Inspector fully appreciated the residents issues at the Hearing and that the impacts were fully reviewed and understood during the site inspection.
We (and our clients) are very pleased to learn today that the appeal has been dismissed on virtually every ground we raised as material to the case.
