Appeal against a hedgerow notice
After you appeal
The Planning Inspectorate will check your appeal to make sure it’s valid. They’ll tell you what happens next and how long your appeal may take.
The Planning Inspectorate will then consider your appeal. You’ll normally get a decision within 31 weeks.
If anyone behaves unreasonably
You can apply for an ‘award of costs’ if anyone involved in your appeal has cost you money by behaving unreasonably, for example missing deadlines. However, you might have to pay another party’s costs too.
You can complain about how the Planning Inspectorate handled your appeal. There’s no time limit for complaints.
