Only the applicant has the right to appeal
As the applicant, you can appeal when a planning application has been:
- refused
- approved but has had conditions placed on it that you don't agree with
- not determined within a set time
Depending on the circumstances of the application, you have the right either to:
- an appeal to Scottish Ministers
Where your application was determined by committee, you can make an appeal to Scottish Ministers. Further information is available at the Planning and Environment Appeals Division.
- a review by our Local Review Body
Where your application was determined by an appointed officer under our Scheme of Delegation you can request a review of the decision. To make a request for a review, you should complete the Notice of Review form using the 'post submission additional documents' option.
The letter accompanying your decision notice will tell you which one is applicable to you. Your appeal or request for a review must be made within three months of the date of decision.
There are no Third Party Rights of Appeal against a decision of the council.
More information and advice on planning appeals, including information on how to appeal is available online from the Scottish Government and from Planning Aid Scotland.
