You have the right to appeal if: - A decision on your application has not been made within the time allowed. This is normally a period of eight weeks (or 13 weeks for a major application) from when the application is accepted
- We refuse your application or grant it but with conditions you disagree with
- We ask for more information before we can decide an outline planning application, but you do not want to supply this information
If your application is refused, you should look at the reasons why. You may want to contact us for advice. If you amend your proposal and reapply within one year you may not have to pay another fee. Please contact the Planning office for advice on fee regulations that govern resubmissions.
You must appeal within six months of a decision being issued. Only the person who made the application can appeal. In cases where there is more than one applicant, for example Mr and Mrs, either or both can appeal. However, only one appeal is allowed per planning application.
Your appeal will be heard and decided by a planning inspector. Occasionally, the appeal will be determined directly by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
Guidance on the appeals procedure can be found on the Planning Portal website Guidance on Appeals in the 'Other websites' box on the right.
