Who may appeal a Council decision on a planning application?
The applicant may appeal either against Council’s decision to refuse an application, or against the conditions imposed by Council on a planning permit. Any person who has lodged an objection (representation) with Council during the 14 day advertising period for a discretionary (advertised) planning permit application may lodge an appeal within 14 days after being served notice of Council’s decision to grant a planning permit. In the case of Council refusing to grant a planning permit, there is no right for an objector (representor) to lodge an appeal.
