Planning Appeals
If a planning application has been refused and the applicant considers that planning permission should have been granted, they have a right to appeal against that decision directly to the Planning Inspectorate (a Government Agency). This must normally be submitted within 6 months of the decision notice being issued.
Appeals can be costly and time consuming for both the Council and the applicant. The Council, therefore, actively encourages applicants to discuss the Council’s decision with planning officers to see whether an amended application could overcome the Council’s objections before making an appeal.
If you have objected to an application, however, and it is approved, there is currently no third party right to appeal.
