Expert Witness, Appeals and Public Enquiries
It is always preferable to determine planning applications at the Local Authority stage, but sometimes this isn’t possible. The application then needs to be heard at Appeal, which can be by written representation, hearing or enquiry.
We have represented clients and Local Authorities at all these different types of Appeal. We provide accurate, descriptive professional witness evidence to maximise a favourable outcome for acoustic factors.
Our Appeal & Enquiry Expert Witness Services
We can provide assistance at all stages of the Appeal or Enquiry process. This can include acoustic surveys to gather information and propose mitigation where needed, preparation of Proof of Evidence and attendance at Appeal. Our breadth of knowledge and expertise means that we can dissect technically complex arguments with confidence and present evidence in a straightforward, concise manner.
We also believe that any avenues of agreement between all parties should be explored wherever possible. The preparation of a Statement of Common Ground can show willingness to try and reach a mutually acceptable outcome and reduce disagreement between parties during the Appeal process.
