Make an appeal online
If someone else owns land or property that’s involved in your appeal
You must tell them that you intend to appeal.

Your appeal is about a decision that applies to a whole estate of houses. To appeal that decision, you’d have to tell other homeowners on the estate.
Check the guidance about notifying other owners. It includes the template notice you need to complete.
