Planning Appeals
If an applicant feels aggrieved by the Council's decision on an application, they can lodge an appeal with The Planning Inspectorate.
Applicants can appeal against a refusal of planning permission or against conditions applied to an application. Please note that only applicants may lodge an appeal, there is no right of appeal for third parties (for example, objectors to an application)
Everyone who comments to the Local Planning Authority on an application will be informed if it becomes subject to an appeal. They will also be given the chance to make further submissions to the Planning Inspectorate during the course of the appeal.
An applicant must submit an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate within six months of receiving the decision from the Council. Appeals are conducted by an impartial inspector, who is appointed by the Government. During the course of an appeal, you are able to choose how you would like your appeal to be heard, the following procedures are available; written representations, public inquiry or by informal hearing.
Further details on Planning Appeals are available via The Planning Inspectorates website.
