The Planning Inspectorate- Wales

Making Your Enforcement Appeal (Guide)

Is anyone else involved?

Yes. Other people who have an interest in your appeal, for example environmental groups or neighbours, are called ‘interested persons’. They have a chance to tell us what they think about your enforcement appeal.

How will other parties find out about the appeal?

We ask the LPA to write to anyone who lives in nearby property and others who they think are affected by your appeal. We ask the LPA to let interested persons know the procedures we will use to decide the appeal and the timetable for receiving their comments.

We will send copies of comments we receive from interested persons to you and the LPA.

For appeals that are being decided by inquiry or hearing, the LPA will also tell interested persons about the arrangements and invite them to come. They can also inspect, at the Council's offices, your grounds of appeal and the LPA's written evidence supporting their enforcement notice.

If there is going to be an inquiry, you must put a notice that we will send you on the appeal site. The LPA may also have to put up notices in public places and tell the local papers.

Before the Inspector takes the views of interested persons into account, we will give you and the LPA a chance to see the comments they have made and give us your views.
