Appeals against Planning Applications
For applications decided on or after 14th October 2004, appeals will need to be made to the Secretary of State within SIX MONTHS of the date of your decision. The 6 month period applies to all planning (section 78), listed building and conservation area consent (section 20) appeals. Only the person who made the application for planning permission can appeal.
Appeals are considered by a planning inspector, appointed by theSecretary 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, Room 3/26 (Hawk Wing), Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol BS1 6PN, Tel: 0117 372 8813 Fax: 0117 372 8443.
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.
