Claim planning appeal costs
When to claim
You may be able to claim costs if someone involved in your appeal behaves unreasonably and costs you money. This includes if they:
- fail to co-operate with you or others
- miss deadlines
- fail to turn up to a site visit, hearing or inquiry
- gave information that was wrong or declared after the deadline
What costs you can claim
You can claim for costs directly related to your appeal, for example:
- time preparing for an appeal
- attending a hearing or inquiry
- the use of consultants to provide detailed technical advice
- witnesses if you need to pay them
You can’t claim for costs relating to your original planning application.
