Acceptable file sizes

If you are submitting documents to us online (ie attaching them to one of our online forms), we will not accept anything over 5MB. 

There are a number of things you can do to keep within this limit:

• do not scan more than one document into a single file;
• send each picture, photograph, map or drawing as a separate file;
• if a document has appendices, send each one as a separate document together with any covering sheet
• if a document is large, break it down into sensible parts, and name them accordingly;
• if an electronic document contains graphics, use any file compression facilities in your software.

Files between 5MB and 10MB can be send to us by e-mail, to the address at the top of the Start letter or quoted in a letter from the council about the appeal.  Please ensure you quote the appeal reference or the appellant's name/site address when sending us e-mail.
