Planning appeal victories in Leeds and Sheffield

Posted by JRP_Admin on 4 August 2025

 

👏 Great work by our Principal Planner, Tom Shiels, who secured two successful appeal decisions this week in Leeds and Sheffield.

✅ In Leeds, Tom demonstrated that the council had acted unreasonably in refusing permission for a small HMO—leading to a positive outcome for our client.

✅ In Sheffield, he made a strong case that proposed works to a property in High Storrs would not harm the character of the site or its surroundings—resulting in another planning win.

Great examples of the value of expert planning advice and persistence paying off!
