Due to the significant experience that we bring to the table, applications that we are involved in are often approved. Where applications are refused however, we are happy to support appellants with the Appeals Process. We have contributed to the success of a variety of appeals through Written Representations and by acting as Expert Witnesses at Hearings and Inquiries. Ed has also acted in Court where his case was successful.
appeal site, Eye.
Beth recently acted as an Expert Witness during an Inquiry in Mid-Suffolk. The proposal was for outline permission for 150 dwellings on a greenfield site on the outskirts of the settlement of Eye. Beth was acting for the applicant and found that no harm to heritage significance would ensue from the proposal and that some benefit to Aesthetic Fortuitous Value would result from the enhanced urban edge and associated landscaping. The Inspector agreed with Beth’s testimony and found that there would be no harm to Heritage Significance as a result of the proposed scheme.
