We take on submissions and appeals selectively, only where there is a genuine planning case.
We are selective about the submissions and appeals we take on. We act where there is a genuine planning case: a proposal that is poorly conceived, overbearing in scale, or that fails to respect the character and context of its setting. Where a development is sound, we will say so.
That discipline is what gives our representations weight. A submission grounded in policy, precedent and sound planning judgement carries far more influence with a planning authority or An Coimisiún Pleanála than a generic objection, and our experience as a former inspector means we know exactly what a decision-maker is looking for.
Observations on a planning application during the public-consultation period, setting out clear, policy-based grounds where a proposal would cause genuine harm.
First- and third-party appeals, preparing the grounds, the planning argument and the supporting evidence to the standard the Commission expects.
Informed submissions during the preparation or review of a development plan, where zoning, objectives or policy wording matter to your interest.
An assessment of whether a scheme respects its context in scale, massing, overlooking, traffic and amenity, and whether a case stands up.
Send us the planning reference and we'll give you a frank view on whether there's a case worth making.
