Third Party Representations

Representing homeowners across Bristol, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Devon and Cornwall during planning processes.

It should be noted that the objectors to a scheme have no legal powers to halt the development of a scheme taking place. The only remedy in this instance is to apply for a Judicial Review through the High Court. We have considerable experience in this field at Salmon Planning. 


However, it is fair to say that In the complex landscape of planning and development, third-party representations do play a critical role in the decision-making process. Salmon Planning offers expert representation to ensure your views are effectively communicated and considered, whether you're a neighbour affected by a proposed development, a community group interested in a local project, or a stakeholder with specific concerns. Our team of chartered planning consultants specialises in navigating the planning system to make impactful third-party representations on behalf of our clients

Why Third Party Representations Matter

  • Influence Planning Decisions: Focused and well-argued third-party representations can significantly influence the outcome of planning applications, ensuring that decision-makers are fully aware of your concerns or support.

  • Protect Your Interests: We help safeguard your interests by providing professional advice and representation, whether you're opposing or supporting a planning application.

  • Strategic Communication: Our expertise in planning policy and strategy allows us to articulate your views in a way that resonates with planning authorities, maximising the impact of your representation.

Our Services in Third Party Representations

  • Comprehensive Assessment: We begin by thoroughly assessing the planning application in question, understanding its implications for you or your community.

  • Tailored Strategy: Based on our assessment, we develop a tailored strategy for your representation, whether it involves submitting objections, expressing support, or suggesting modifications to the proposal.

  • Professional Submission: We prepare and submit your representation to the planning authority or the Secretary of State at appeal, ensuring it is articulate, evidence-based, and supported by relevant planning policies.

  • Ongoing Advocacy: If necessary, we can continue to represent your interests throughout the planning process, including speaking at planning committee meetings or public inquiries on your behalf.

Navigate Planning with Confidence

Third-party representations can be a powerful tool in the planning process, but they require a nuanced understanding of planning policies and strategic communication.
