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:
- 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 6 months).
