We were so pleased to make a local family’s dream of building their own home a reality, when we secured permission for their dwelling at appeal. We took the project on after a negative pre-application response from Cornwall Council because the planning officer felt the site was in open countryside.

We prepared the planning application, built from a solid understanding and justification for rounding off the settlement, and meeting with planning policies and professional guidance. Unfortunately Cornwall Council maintained a negative stance and the application was refused. We stuck by our convictions, knowing the strength of our case, and submitted an appeal against the decision.
