Appeal against an enforcement notice
Make an appeal
You can make an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate online.
If you want to appeal against 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 need
You’ll need to submit a copy of your enforcement notice.
You may also need to submit:
- documents that support your grounds and facts
- your planning obligation, if you have one
- a draft statement of common ground
- your appeal costs application
You can upload these documents when you appeal online.
