If a planning application is refused
You can either resubmit your application or appeal the decision
Resubmitting your application
We can help
You can discuss how to overcome the reasons for refusal with the planning officer that dealt with the original application.
Following a refusal, you can resubmit your application. Use our pre-application advice service to ensure that your resubmitted application addresses the reasons for the initial refusal.
Planning appeals
Before you appeal
There may be scope to amend your planning application, rather than making an appeal. You can discuss the reasons for the rejection and the suggested changes with us. Contact details can be found on your notification, which states if your application has been successful or not.
Types of appeal
GOV.UK provides comprehensive guidance and advice for each type of appeal.
How to appeal
Planning appeals are dealt with by the Planning Inspectorate. You can appeal online, and find out about alternative ways to appeal by clicking the button below.
