• Planning appeals

You can appeal against decisions made by the council if you consider the refusal or conditions imposed are unreasonable, or if a determination has not been made within a statutory 8 week time period (set by Government). You can also appeal against an enforcement notice issue.

Appeals should be made to the Department for Communities and Local Government and can take the form of:

• a written representation
• a public inquiry
• an informal hearing

You can submit an appeal online on the Planning Portal.

You can obtain appeal forms from The Planning Inspectorate.

Costs can be awarded against either party if they are deemed to have acted unreasonably when the appeal is heard at a Public Inquiry or Informal Hearing.
