Once a decision has been made we send signed copies of the decision notice to the agent or applicant within a few days. If the application is approved, the decision will usually be subject to conditions that will be clearly stated on the notice. If permission is refused, the decision notice will state why. We also send decision notices to anyone who made written comments about the application. Please telephone us after 11.00 a.m. on the day following the Committee meeting if you wish to be informed of the decision made.
If an applicant is unhappy about a decision, they can appeal to the Planning Inspectorate, an independent Government agency. Details of how to do this are on the reverse of all decision notices. Only the applicant can appeal. We will notify anyone who submitted written comments on the application if an appeal is lodged and we will forward their original comments to the Planning Inspectorate. |
