Here are some steps to consider when reapplying for planning permission after a refusal: Review the reasons for refusal: Before reapplying, it is essential to thoroughly understand the reasons why your planning permission was refused. This information will typically be provided on the decision notice along with the detailed reasoning behind the reasons for refusal contained within the delegated or planning committee report. The decision notice will outline the specific reasons for the refusal and any relevant planning policies or regulations that were not met. It is important to read this letter carefully and to take the time to understand the reasons for the refusal. This will help you to identify any issues that need to be addressed in your resubmission.

This may involve amending your proposal, providing additional information or clarification, or addressing any concerns raised by the planning authority. Depending on the nature of the issues raised, you may need to seek the advice of a planning permission expert or other professional to help you to address these issues. Consider seeking pre-application advice: If you are unsure how to address the reasons for refusal, you may wish to consider seeking pre-application advice from the planning authority. This can be a helpful way to understand what changes or information is required to increase your chances of success upon resubmission.

You may also be able to benefit from a 'Free go' upon resubmission therefore circumventing the requirement for a further Council planning fees when you resubmit. It it is important to check if your scheme meets Free go criteria. Some of the basic Free go criteria include: the application must be by the same applicant, at the same site, within 12 months of the previous submission and where the Free go has not been exercised in the past at the site in question.
