Planning Appeal Information
The Council's Planning system provides details of planning appeals. If you know the site address and/or the planning application number, the Planning system will provide details of the appeal status, type, procedure (written representations, informal hearing or inquiry) and the decision. You should note that appeal information will only be shown in the Planning system where an appeal has actually been lodged. If you do not see any details on the screen it means that there has been no appeal or that no appeal has yet been lodged. Time limits to lodge an appeal vary depending on the type of application or enforcement notice.
Appeal Time Limits
Householder planning application
12 weeks from the date on the decision notice. However, if an enforcement notice has been served for the same or very similar development the time limit is:
- 28 days from the date of the *LPA decision if the enforcement notice was served before the decision was made yet not longer than 2 years before the application was made.
- 28 days from the date the enforcement notice was served if served on or after the date the decision was made (unless this extends the appeal period beyond 12 weeks).
NB – if the LPA have failed to determine your householder planning application or you are appealing against the grant of permission subject to conditions to which you object, please follow the time limits under "Planning application" below.
Planning application
6 months from the date on the decision notice, or 6 months from the expiry of the period which the *LPA had to determine the application. However, if an enforcement notice has been served for the same or very similar development within the previous 2 years, the time limit is:
