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:

  • your original application
  • 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:

  • your original application
  • confirmation that you notified the landowners of your original application

You can email these documents to rightsofway2@planninginspectorate.gov.uk when you appeal.

You can also post them to the Planning Inspectorate.
