Planning Appeals

If Your Application Is Refused

If your application is refused, the decision notice will set out the reasons for the refusal.  You have a right to appeal against the decision to an independent Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State within 6 months of the date of refusal and the procedure for this is set out on the back of the refusal notice.

Alternatively, where the refusal relates primarily to issues of detail or design you may prefer to negotiate with the Authority and re-submit the proposal.  However, this is not usually an option where the refusal relates to a fundamental policy objection. 

If you have a complaint about the way your application was dealt with you can raise it through the Authority’s complaint procedure outlined in the leaflet ‘Complaints and Compliments’.
