Appeal against a right of way decision
How to appeal
Make your appeal to the Planning Inspectorate by filling in the appeal form. Write to the Secretary of State if you’re making a direction request.
If you want to appeal against more than one decision you must make a separate appeal for each.
Documents you must provide
If you’re appealing against a decision
You must submit 2 copies of:

- the reason for your appeal
- the council’s decision notice
- any notices you issued while applying, for example to let other landowners know you were applying for a change
- a map showing the proposed right of way
- any other documents that directly support your appeal, for example your grounds for appeal
- confirmation that you’ve notified the local council about your appeal
If the local council has not made a decision
You must submit 2 copies of:
