Planning Appeals

If a planning application has been refused and the applicant considers that planning permission should have been granted, he has the right to appeal against that decision directly to the Planning Inspectorate (a Government Agency). This must normally be within 6 months of the decision or within 12 weeks for householder appeals.

Appeals can be costly and time consuming for both the Council and the applicant. The Council, therefore, actively encourages an applicant to discuss the Council’s decision with a planning officer to see whether an amended application could overcome the Council’s reasons for refusal before lodging an appeal.

If you have objected to an application, however, and it is approved, there is currently no third party right to appeal.
