You can appeal to the Secretary of State in writing within 28 days of receiving the decision. The planning authority should give the address. Appeals are normally decided without a formal hearing, on the basis of written statements followed by a site visit. The Secretary of State may allow or dismiss the appeal, or vary the original decision.

You can appeal to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions in writing within 28 days of receiving the decision. The Local Planning Authority should give the address. Appeals are normally decided without a formal hearing, on the basis of written statements followed by a site visit. Both you and the local planning authority have the right instead to a public local inquiry or hearing. The Secretary of State may allow or dismiss the appeal, or vary the original decision.
