​
A decision notice can be appealed if you disagree with the final decision made by the LPA, an attached condition, or if the application wasn’t determined within eight weeks (for a typical householder development). Appeals are made to the Planning Inspectorate and are conducted by an impartial inspector. The Planning Inspectorate is an executive agency sponsored by the Department for Communities and Local Government.
The most common appeal is in respect of a refusal of planning permission, although you can also appeal against any conditions that have been imposed on a planning permission or if the local planning authority has failed to make a decision within a specified timeframe (usually 8 weeks for an application to be determined).
​
You can contact APOLLO Town Planning to ask whether you think it would be worth submitting an appeal. You can trust us to give an genuine and honest answer; if it is not worthwhile submitting an appeal we will not waste any of your time or money: there is no obligation to use our services if you do choose to ask for an opinion.
If you do choose us to submit an appeal We can act as your agent to submit an appeal, on your behalf, against a refusal of planning permission. Certain documents must be submitted with an appeal and we can provide a planning statement and design and access statement to support the argument of upholding your appeal. These documents will be prepared using expert knowledge of planning.
A householder appeal currently has to be received by the Planning Inspectorate within 12 weeks of the date of the decision: you will lose your right of appeal if you do not submit within this timeframe. So you should CONTACT US as soon as possible.
