Appealing a Planning Decision
Free with emailHow to appeal a refused householder planning application. Covers the 12-week deadline, written representations procedure, what the inspector looks for, realistic success rates, and when resubmitting makes more sense.
Do this first:
About two in every three householder planning appeals fail. That statistic should make you pause before reaching for the appeal form. But it should also make you curious about the third that succeed, because they succeed for specific, identifiable reasons. If your refusal falls into the right category, an appeal is free to submit and the process is far less intimidating than most homeowners expect.
The real question isn't whether you can appeal. You almost certainly can. It's whether you should.
