Appeal a listed building consent decision

Skip to contents of guide

When you can appeal

Your local planning authority makes decisions about listed building consent applications. You can appeal a decision if either:

  • you disagree with it
  • the decision was not made within 8 weeks (13 weeks for a major development, for example 10 or more dwellings or a building of more than 1,000 square metres)

There’s no fee for appealing.

Only the person who made the application can appeal. If you did not apply, you can comment on an appeal instead.

Deadline for appealing

You must appeal within 6 months of either:

  • the date of the decision
  • when the decision was due, if you did not get one within 8 weeks (13 weeks for a major development)
