Planning Appeals

A planning appeal is the process in the United Kingdom whereby a planning applicant can challenge an adverse decision.Including:-
*A refusal of Planning permission
*Failure of the planning authority to issue a decision within a given time.
*Against conditions attached to a permission
*Against the issue of an Enforcement Notice
*Against refusals of listed building and conservation area consent

In England and Wales, appeals are processed by the Planning Inspectorate.Typically appeals are handled in one of two ways.
#By Written Representations where the appeal is conducted entirely in writing - this process is usually used for smaller appeals where perhaps only a few issues are in dispute.
#By Formal Hearing Where a hearing is held in a very similar way to a court of law where barristers argue for each side of the case and the Planning inspector acts as judge.
