Making your appeal

You can send your appeal to The Planning Inspectorate by post, by FAX, or deliver it by hand to the address below. You should keep the fax transmission report, and recorded delivery numbers, or if you deliver your appeal by hand ask for a dated receipt.

If you live in England:

The Planning Inspectorate,
PO Box 326,
BRISTOL, BS99 7XF.

Helpline: 0117 372 8075

Fax: 0117 372 8782

If you live in Wales:

The Planning Inspectorate,
The National Assembly for Wales,
Cathays Park,
CARDIFF, CF10 3NQ.

Helpline: 029 2082 5670

Fax: 029 2082 5150

If your appeal arrives 'out of time', the postmark on the envelope will be examined to see whether, according to the postage paid, it should normally have been received before the date when the enforcement notice took effect. But if the postmark is unclear and you cannot supply proof of posting in time to be received before that date, your appeal will not be accepted.

You should fill in three copies of the appeal form. Send one to The Planning Inspectorate, send one to the LPA and the other is for you to keep. You can use appeal forms from The Planning Inspectorate's website.
