Appeal against a planning decision

You can appeal against a planning decision if you are the applicant, and:

  • you do not agree with it, or
  • we have not made the decision in the specified time period and did not agree an extension with you

You won’t be able to appeal against a planning decision if you are an objector.

The Planning Inspectorate deals with all appeals, and you need to lodge your appeal with them.

Guidance on how to appeal against a decision, including the timeframes for an appeal, can be found via the Planning Portal website.
