Make an appeal

You can make an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate online or by post.

If you want to appeal more than one enforcement notice you must make a separate appeal for each. Each person should appeal separately.

You also need to send a copy of your appeal, including all the supporting documents, to your local planning authority. The Planning Inspectorate will tell you how to do this.

Documents you must provide

You’ll need to submit:

  • a copy of your enforcement notice
  • a plan (if there is one)
  • any other documents that directly support your appeal, for example your grounds for appeal
  • your appeal, if you’re appealing by post

You can upload these documents when you appeal online or post them to the Planning Inspectorate.

Appeal online

You must have copyright permission to use any drawings or other documents.

You can upload Word documents, images or PDF files up to 15MB. Do not send web links to files - send the files themselves.

All files must be:

  • a single document, appendix or image
  • given file names that describe what they are

Appeal an enforcement notice on the Appeals Casework Portal.

Appeal by post or email
