THE BENEFITS OF NO WIN-NO FEE CONTRACTS
When we offer to conduct your project on No Win-No Fee terms, our planning consultancy fees are waived, and a specified fee is payable ONLY when we win the planning permission for you. So you will pay us NO FEE for our time and expertise unless we WIN your planning permission.

Our NO WIN-NO FEE terms can therefore remove the biggest cost risk for our clients, who can then pursue planning permissions for residential and all other kinds of valuable development secure in the knowledge that they will pay our fee ONLY for success - and will then pay it from profits that we have made for them by winning value-enhancing planning permission for their land at our risk


HOW OUR NO WIN-NO FEE TERMS ARE SET
Success-related fees for NO WIN-NO FEE appeals are set by undertaking an Initial Assessment of Development Potential to examine your development proposal in the context of local planning policies, national planning policies, other material planning considerations, and reasons stated by the planning authority for rejecting your development proposal. The success fee required will be determined by the results of the Initial Assessment, by Land Planning Associates' estimate of the time and other costs, risk, and potential financial gain involved in pursuing the planning permission.

Success fees are assessed individually for each project. There is no percentage or other formula. Upon receipt of our assessment and terms, you can decide whether you wish to proceed. You are committed to nothing, other than the assessment, until you enter into a contract with us.

No Win No Fee terms are normally appropriate only for pursuit of planning permissions offering a substantial capital gain - e.g. for residential permission, a new plot for a dwelling.

INITIAL ASSESSMENT FOR NO WIN-NO FEE TERMS
The small fixed charge for your Initial Assessment covers less than half the cost of completing the average assessment. We cover the balance, and the cost of carrying out the Assessment is thereby shared between us.

We are legally liable for all advice we issue, and therefore cannot discuss the prospects of success for any development proposal "off the cuff" before completing an Initial Assessment. There are no "standard answers" for development proposals, and we would have before us none of the information we need to issue sound advice about the prospects of winning the permission required. The Initial Assessment is essential to allow us to assess the prospects of success, the likely time involved, and therefore the terms which are appropriate for pursuing your planning permission.

HOW TO APPLY
If you would like us to consider pursuing your planning permission on No Win-No Fee terms, please complete and print the application form for Initial Assessment and forward, with the relevant documents to our Suffolk Head Office.

When we offer you No Win-No Fee terms, we will usually also offer you normal time-based terms AND Contingency Fee terms - a "halfway house" between normal terms and No Win-No Fee. The choice will then be entirely yours, depending on how much risk you want to accept for your appeal, and how much you would prefer US to take for you.

Whichever terms you choose, our promise to you is the same .....

If it is possible to win your planning permission, we WILL win it for you...And if we can't win it, it is unlikely that anyone else will be able to.
