Claim planning appeal costs

Skip to contents of guide

After you claim

The Planning Inspectorate will consider your claim. The party being asked to pay will have an opportunity to respond in writing.

If you’re successful, you’ll be given either:

  • a full award - you can recover all your costs including the cost of claiming
  • a partial award - you can only recover some costs

The award doesn’t tell you how much you should get. It’s your responsibility to prove to the other party how much you’ve spent on the appeal.

If they won’t pay

You can make a court claim for money if the other party won’t pay.
