Planning Appeals
Approved January 2006
Where appeals are lodged and these are to be dealt with by a hearing or Public Inquiry, the Council will, where appropriate and before a hearing date, discuss with the appellants amendments which might lead to an acceptable proposal.
The Council will in all cases request that appeals are dealt with under the written representation procedure unless this is deemed contrary to the interests of the public or the Council.
The Council will submit documents to the Planning Inspectorate including appeal statements and other information in accordance with statutory requirements and time scales.
The receipt of appeals and the eventual outcome will be reported to the Planning Committee, together with details of any costs awarded in favour of or against the Council.
