Anyone can view historical appeals and comment on open appeals.
Only the applicant can make an appeal against refused planning permission or imposed conditions. Neighbours and other third parties have no right of appeal.
You will find reasons for refused planning permission in the decision notice. Often, you can work with your planning officer to resolve these issues.
Consider resubmitting your planning application instead of appealing. This can be quicker and, if done within one year, will not normally attract a fee.
There are four reasons for appeal:
1. Milton Keynes Council
2. Milton Keynes Council rejected a proposal arising from a condition or limitation on a planning permission
3. Milton Keynes Council did not decide within the time allowed
4. Milton Keynes Council required more information before issuing a decision about your outline application and you do not wish to supply this
Householder appeals: 12 weeks of the decision notice.
Other appeals: Six months from the date refusal was issued, or when the council should have determined the planning application.
To appeal, you must be the person who submitted the initial planning application.
More information on appealing and which form you require can be found on the Government’s website, where you can also submit your appeal electronically.
