Planning Appeals
Planning Appeals
Where planning permission is refused or permitted subject to conditions which the applicant finds unacceptable, the applicant can make an appeal against the decision to the Planning Inspectorate.
In most cases the appeal must be made within six months of the date of the decision, although different timescales apply for appeals against a refusal of Advertisement Consent and for Enforcement appeals.
The Planning Inspectorate will then consider the decision that the Broads Authority has made and decide whether or not planning permission should or should not have been granted. The Planning Inspectorate can only look at planning matters and will not consider procedural issues.
An appeal is also permitted on the grounds of 'non-determination' when the Broads Authority fails to determine the application within the statutory period.
Only the applicant can appeal against a refusal of planning permission. There is currently no ‘third party’ right of appeal so objectors cannot appeal against a decision to grant planning permission.
Our Appeals Process page provides further details of the planning appeals process.
