Planning Appeals
This page explains who can Appeal against a Planning Decision
made by the Development Corporation and the procedures
involved.
Applicants
An applicant may appeal against a decision of the Development
Corporation to refuse an application or against the imposition of
particular conditions. Any such appeal should be made to the
Planning Inspectorate.
If you wish to appeal a decision made by the Development
Corporation, then you will need to ensure that you meet the
following criteria otherwise the Planning Inspectorate will not
take any action on your appeal:
- That you are the person who submitted the planning
application;
- That you submit your appeal to the Planning Inspectorate within
six months (3 months if it relates to a ‘householder application’)
from the date of the decision letter;
- That you ensure that the Planning Inspectorate receives all of
your appeal documentation within six months from the date of the
decision letter.
For further information on the appeals process please consult
The
Planning Inspectorate webpages. Details will also appear on the
back of the Decision Notice issued by the Corporation.
There is also a right of appeal against the service of any
Listed Building Enforcement Notice issued by the Development
Corporation. Details of how to appeal will be supplied with the
notice.
Third Parties
Under the current procedures laid down by Parliament, third
parties including local residents cannot appeal to the Planning
Inspectorate against a decision made on a planning
application. The only redress is to appeal to the High Court
on a point of law.
