Appeals

Applicants can challenge the Authority’s planning decisions by making an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. Appeals can be lodged against the following:

Refusal of planning permission
Condition/s imposed on a grant of planning permission
Non-determination of an application within the required time limit
Taking formal enforcement action.

The Authority will send out details of how to appeal with all decision notices and enforcement notices. Appeal forms are available from the Planning Inspectorate.

The Authority will notify anyone who has made a representation on an application of any subsequent appeal.

The Planning Portal provides advice relating to Appeals and also the ability to make an appeal online.
