How to comment on planning proposals and applications

Appeals and reviews

Applicants have the right to appeal or ask for a review of a planning decision for three reasons:

  1. Where the application is refused
  2. Where the applicant does not agree with a condition of consent
  3. Where the application is not determined within the specified time period

Find out more about planning appeals.

Anyone who has made comments on the application will be informed of the appeal or review and asked if they wish to amend their comments. Only those who made comments on the planning application, can make further comments on the appeal or review.
