Planning Appeals

Householder Appeals Service (HAS)

On 6 April 2009 the Householder Appeals Service (HAS) was officially launched following a successful pilot ran by the Planning Inspectorate.

What changes have been made?

For the appellant a number of changes have been made. These aim to make the whole process easier to understand, to take part in and allow you to receive a decision much more quickly than at present.

the appeal form has been simplified to make it shorter
you will no longer need to send the plan with your appeal
you are required to set your full grounds of appeal using the appeal form
you are required to submit your appeal within 12 weeks of the date of the decision notice
the Inspector will look at your appeal afresh, having access to all of the other documents and material submitted at application stage
at the moment it can take up to 20 weeks to receive a decision from the day an appeal is received, the pilot scheme aims to decide any "householder" appeal in 12 weeks.

Further information regarding these changes may be found on the Planning Inspectorate's 21st Century Appeals Service webpage (see external links section below).

The Planning Inspectorate

Planning appeals are handled by a separate national body, the Planning Inspectorate (see external links section). An applicant who has had their planning application refused by the council has the right to make an appeal to the Inspectorate within 6 months of the application being decided. To find out more about making a planning appeal, read the Making Your Planning Appeal guide (see external links section).

For those who wish to find out how to take part in someone else's appeal, please read the Guide to Taking Part in Planning Appeals (see external links section).

Appeal online

You can now submit an appeal online through the Government's Planning Portal website (see external links section).
