We Have Identified Over £31 Million in Unreturned Compensation Across 116 Councils in the UK
Can You Make a Claim?
Every year, councils across the UK delay or mishandle planning applications, leaving applicants eligible for compensation. Despite this, Councils often fail to proactively refund fees owed. This means that millions of pounds go unclaimed, leaving individuals and businesses unaware of the compensation they’re entitled to.
You may have a case for compensation if:
- Your application was delayed beyond the statutory period
- You overpaid fees due to Council errors
- There were other administrative issues with your application
If any of these apply to you, or if you’re unsure, the easiest way to find out if you have grounds to make a claim is by completing our quick form. Our experienced team will assess your case, and if you’re eligible, we’ll handle the entire process to recover your compensation.
