Appeals

When you receive the decision on your planning application it may be that you wish to appeal against that decision - perhaps if permission has been refused or against one of the conditions imposed.

The decision notice will be accompanied by notes on how to appeal - that must be done directly to the Planning Inspectorate.

Appeals can be heard in three ways - by writing, a hearing or an inquiry. Written appeals see all statements and representations presented in writing only. A hearing is an informal 'meeting' between the Inspector and all the parties where all aspects of the case may be discussed. An Inquiry is the most formal route - the case will be conducted by an Inspector.
In all cases the inspector will visit the site although this may be unaccompanied. The decision will be sent to you by the Planning Inspectorate.

There is no third party right of appeal -only the applicant may appeal against a decision made.

There has been the introduction of a new Householder Appeal Service and changes to the appeal process. Full details of this may be obtained from Planning Portal website Opens in a new window. or from the attached document. Opens in a new window
