Appeal a planning decision
How long you have to appeal
If your application was refused, or granted with conditions, you can appeal for up to 6 months from the date on your local planning authority’s (LPA) decision letter.
If you have not received a decision, you can appeal for up to 6 months from the date your decision was due to arrive.
Enforcement notices
You’ll have less time to appeal if you received an enforcement notice in the last 2 years.
If you received the enforcement notice before your application was refused, you have 28 days from the date on your decision letter to appeal.
If the enforcement notice came after your application was refused, you need to appeal by whichever of these dates is sooner:
- 28 days from the date you received the enforcement notice
- 6 months from the date on your application decision letter
