Appeals

In England, when planning permission for development is refused by a Local Planning Authority the Applicant has the right of appeal to the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities for an independent decision. The Planning Inspectorate is appointed to determine appeals on behalf of the Secretary of State.

​

The Origin transport planning team are regularly involved in planning appeals and act as Expert Witness. We understand the planning system, transport policy and technical requirements and advise on whether technical transport reasons for refusal are justified.
