Appeals Against Planning Applications (Householders Only)
Appeals must be made within 12 weeks of the date of the decision of the planning application. Only the person who made the application for planning permission can appeal.
Appeals are considered by a planning inspector, appointed by the Secretary of State. Most are handled in writing. Some are decided by a hearing before an Inspector. A few are decided after a public inquiry.
Appeals must be made on a form which is obtainable from The Planning Inspectorate, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN, Tel: 0117 372 8813 Fax: 0117 372 8443 or online via the Planning Portal.
The Secretary of State has power to allow a longer period for lodging an appeal but he will not normally be prepared to do so unless there are special reasons for the delay in lodging the appeal.
The Case Officer who dealt with your application will be able to advise further on the appeal process if necessary.
