Most refusals fail on bulk, overlooking, or a drawing that does not match the street — not on a hopeless site. Send the decision notice and the refused drawings.
What you send
The decision notice, the refused drawings, and the address. A photo of the rear elevation if you have one. That is enough for a director to read the file.
What we do
A director reads it the same working day. We say whether a resubmission, a lawful-development route, or a different massing is the honest next step. First meeting is free.
What happens next
A written fixed fee before Stage 1. We do not take a percentage of build cost. You see the number before any new drawings.
Who it is for
Homeowners in London, and work in Manchester and Birmingham. Not a remote drawing mill. One of the two directors runs the job.
Common questions
Do I need a new application or can I amend the last one?
Most householder refusals are followed by a fresh application. If the decision is recent, a resubmission of a changed scheme is often the faster route than an appeal. Where the officer asked for a modest change, we can sometimes treat it as an amendment. We read the reasons first and tell you which it is.
How soon should I act after a refusal?
Read the notice the week it arrives. Appeal windows on householder decisions are short. A redesigned resubmission can wait for a better scheme, but the notice should not sit in a drawer.
Will you appeal, or redesign?
We redesign when the reasons are about bulk, overlooking or a drawing that does not fit the street. We appeal when the refusal is wrong on the policy. We will say which we would spend your money on.
What does the first meeting cost?
Nothing. The first meeting is free. The fee for Stage 1 is written down before any drawings start.
Send the notice. A director replies the same working day.
