We are only able to correct some minor slips and errors provided we are notified within the relevant High Court challenge period. These are usually small scale in nature such as typing errors. They do not include the decision or reasoning behind it.
We cannot change the Inspector's decision or re-open the appeal once the decision has been issued. Similarly we cannot resolve any issues you may have with the local planning authority about the planning system or the implementation of a planning decision; we can only deal with the planning appeal decision.
The High Court is the only authority that can ask for the Inspectors decision to be reconsidered. Applications to the High Court must be made within 6 weeks from the date of the decision letter for planning appeals and in most instances 28 days for enforcement appeals.
