Purpose

This module provides a brief, ‘entry-level’ examination of planning appeals made under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (hereafter referred to as the 1990 Act). It does not give an outline of the provisions relating to other appeals, such as enforcement and special consents appeals, although the procedures are broadly similar.

Benefits

The appeals process is the main mechanism for ensuring fairness and consistency of decision-making in the planning system, for restraining unreasonable behaviour by local planning authorities and for ensuring that the planning policies of central government are followed.
