Appeal a listed building consent decision

Skip contents

Make an appeal

You can make an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate online or by post.

If you want to appeal more than one decision you must make a separate appeal for each.

You also need to send a copy of your appeal and your supporting documents to your local planning authority. The Planning Inspectorate will tell you how to do this.

Documents you must provide

You must submit:

  • a ‘statement of case’ - find out what to include
  • a copy of your listed building consent application form and all documents you sent with your application
  • a copy of the site ownership certificate
  • site plans
  • any correspondence with your local planning authority
  • any other documents that directly support your appeal, for example boundary maps

You can upload these documents when you appeal online or post them to the Planning Inspectorate afterwards.

Appeal online

You must have copyright permission to use any drawings or other documents.

You can upload Word documents, images or PDF files up to 15MB. Do not send web links to files - send the files themselves.

All files must be:

  • a single document, appendix or image
  • given file names that describe what they are
