What happens next?

Once your appeal has been received by the Planning Inspectorate, it will be checked and provided the necessary documentation is present and it has been submitted within the 6 months deadline, they will send you a letter confirming the procedure it will follow and a 'starting date'.
This starting date is important as it sets the timetable that you and the Local Planning Authority must follow.

The Planning Inspectorate Case Officer dealing with your appeal will let you know what else you need to do during the course of your appeal, and when you need to do it.

You will now deal only with the Planning Inspectorate, and not the Local Planning Authority. As shown above, you will be informed at this stage about the procedure to follow:

Written Representations

Hearing or

Inquiry.

The appeal documents will be made available for public inspection at the Local Planning Authoritie's offices, and in some cases, online.
