Using a planning consultant ensures your objection is professionally written, well-structured, and focused on valid planning grounds. Many self-written objections risk being dismissed because they focus on personal feelings rather than planning policy. A consultant brings expert knowledge of local and national planning rules, increasing the chances of your concerns being taken seriously.

A professional objection letter is effective because it highlights key planning issues, such as loss of light, traffic impact, overdevelopment, or harm to local character, backed by evidence and planning policy references. This creates a clear, persuasive argument that planning officers must address in their decision. It’s not just about saying “I object,” but about making a case that stands up in planning terms.

Every planning objection is unique, which is why Objection Experts take time to understand your specific concerns, the site context, and the details of the application. We then align your worries with valid planning grounds, ensuring your voice is heard while framing the argument in a way planning officers cannot ignore. This tailored approach makes your objection stronger and more personal.

Yes, whether it’s a neighbour’s extension affecting your privacy or a major housing development threatening green belt land, we prepare clear, robust objections at any scale. Smaller cases need precision and attention to detail, while larger developments often require policy analysis and evidence-based arguments. We provide both with the same professional approach.

Our process begins with reviewing the planning application in detail, identifying potential grounds for objection, and discussing your specific concerns up front with a transparent, fixed price fee quote. We then research relevant planning policies and produce a clear, persuasive draft letter. Then, we can tweak the objection with you, ensuring it meets deadlines and carries maximum weight in the planning process.

Time is often critical in planning objections, as deadlines can be short. We can usually prepare and deliver a professional objection within 5 working days, depending on the complexity of the case. However, if the deadline is looming, we can always provide an objection within the required timeframe. This fast turnaround means you won’t miss the window to have your say, while still benefiting from a well-researched and effective objection.
