How you find out

If your LPA has served a notice and there is a valid appeal against it, they will write to everyone who lives in nearby property and others who they think are affected, to tell them about the appeal. The LPA will also write to anyone who has already written to them about the site.

If the appeal is dealt with at an inquiry, the LPA will normally advertise the details of the inquiry in the local press. The appellant must display details of the inquiry, like the time and place, on the site of the alleged development 2 weeks before the inquiry.

These are the minimum publicity requirements Your LPA may give appeals more publicity.
