Overview
Administrative appeals ask a court or other reviewing body to overturn, alter, or delay the legal effect of an underlying administrative decision, such as the decision of a local zoning or planning authority, the decision of a state environmental agency on a permit application, or an administrative agency’s enforcement order alleging a regulatory violation. These proceedings are critically important to property owners, developers, municipalities, and other community stakeholders because they decide significant matters of property rights, fairness and due process, economic development, neighborhood compatibility, and public policy. Robinson+Cole land use lawyers combine their extensive experience in administrative permitting proceedings with their experience in litigation to give clients exceptional service in administrative appeals.
