Planning advice, strategy & feasibility
Whether something is feasible or has opportunity for success is a major consideration for landowners and applicants, early advice from a person with the knowledge of planning process can ensure projects are not aborted and time and money is not wasted as we strive towards positive outcomes through the planning process. If a scheme is unlikely to get a positive outcome Dan will tell you.
Appeals
Appeals are a last resort in planning, but Dan will use the appeal process where he believes the Council’s decision needs to be challenged. Before appealing a scheme will be reviewed to consider whether a resubmission is a more appropriate solution. However, when an appeal is needed Dan is experienced in writing robust and persuasive appeal statements that put forward his client’s best case.
In recent years Dan has worked on successful appeal outcomes for schemes all over Cornwall examples of such include:
Community Infrastructure Levy advice
The Community Infrastructure Levy is a tax on development based on floor area, the need to administer the paperwork correctly is important to ensure the exemptions are claimed in a timely manner to avoid non-compliance and loss of the valuable exemptions. The process is rigid with no flexibility, it needs to be done correctly, errors can be costly. Professional advice is important to avoid slip ups and surcharges.
Certificates of lawfulness and Planning enforcement
The lawfulness of a development or and use of land can be a complex process, we can advise on immunity and assist with Certificates of Lawfulness, Planning Contravention Notice completion and where necessary Enforcement Appeals.
