Planning Permission Not Gone Your Way? You Have 6 Weeks To Challenge

The clock starts ticking from the date of decision, NOT the date you receive the letter AND it includes bank holidays. The court does not have the power to extend this either so you need to act swiftly and accurately.

How To Overturn A Planning Decision

We start from the very beginning, looking through and analysing your proposed development and application. We compare its worth against the local authority decision and can then advise you whether an appeal may be successful.

From here, we can then advise on timescales, costs and the best next steps.

For Kerry Houston-Kypta, Partner:

“Many thanks for guiding us through the sale of land. Also for in helping us to keep realistically within our budget. Our dealings with you both made it a pleasurable and stress-free transaction.”

"As church building contractors we are well used to working on unusual buildings with unique problems to overcome. So, when the opportunity to buy a redundant church to convert to residential apartments came our way, we knew we would need a commercial solicitor that could navigate a very unusual purchase. Having worked with Kerry Houston-Kypta on a similar project 10 years ago, we felt she was the one person who would make sure the complicated process of purchasing from the church of England went smoothly. As always, Kerry was available to answer any questions and offer sound legal advice in her calm and easy to understand manner. We are happy to say we completed last week and Kerry will also be assisting us with the development finance, drawing up all the leases and providing the sales conveyancing. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kerry to any property developers looking for excellent service, sound advice and competitive fees."

"I would also like to express my gratitude for your professionalism, support and patience in dealing with this matter and the speed with which you managed to complete the work when finally you were provided with the undertaking. Thank you again for all your help. It is very much appreciated."

For Charlotte Lilley Solicitor:

“Coles Miller were a real help during our move. They weren't just efficient and helpful, they were proactive. Charlotte Lilley helped us to buy with confidence by identifying several important issues in the early stages. I'd like to extend my thanks to Charlotte for keeping the transaction moving, in what were very difficult times for everybody. I would recommend Charlotte without reservation."

"We were very happy and satisfied with the service we received from Charlotte and her team. Charlotte and her team were patient and displayed full of professionalism. I will certainly recommend them to others."
