Please note that although the time period in which a planning appeal may be submitted has been increased from 3 months to 6 months - This is not the case with Advertisement Appeals.

The appeal period remains 8 weeks from the receipt of the local planning authorities' decision notice.

You can submit your appeal online or on paper. We are sorry but we are unable to offer you the option of printing a blank form from this site. This is because we use scanning equipment to extract information from the forms and this can be affected by (a) the way that your printer positions information on the paper, and (b) the ability of the scanning software to deal with handwriting.

Should also be used for appeals against the service of a Discontinuance Notice
