We successfully challenged St Albans District Council’s refusal to grant planning permission for a side and rear extension to a local resident despite similar extensions having been allowed on the same road. Public law principles demand consistency from a Local Planning Authority making a planning judgment. The planning authority is expected to take into consideration the approach it has taken on similar applications in the area. It is important to present your case in a robust and comprehensive way right from the outset and we can provide you with the necessary guidance.
