Comment on an appeal

Anyone can comment on a planning appeal. Find the case on the appeals casework portal.

The deadline for comments is 5 weeks after the start date of the appeal, or 6 weeks after the date on the enforcement notice sent by the local planning authority (LPA).

The LPA must tell anyone who has commented on the original application (‘interested parties’) that there’s an appeal.

They have to do this within 5 working days of the appeal being started by the Planning Inspectorate.
