Notice of appeal sent to landowners for planning, householder, minor commercial and listed building consent appeals
This guidance about notifying other landowners applies to planning, householder, minor commercial and listed building consent appeals.
Applies to England
Introduction
If you are not the sole owner of the appeal site, you must notify any other landowners and any tenant of an agricultural holding of the appeal. This is called ‘serving notice’. The notification must take place in the 21-day period before the appeal is submitted.
Below are templates which should be used for this notice.
Serving notice
There are 3 scenarios.
You know the names and addresses of all other landowners and any tenant of an agricultural holding
You must serve notice to each other landowner and tenant by:
- handing the notice personally to them
- leaving it at the person’s usual or last known home address, or, if they have given an address to receive documents, at that address.
- sending the notice by registered or recorded delivery post
- If an email address for serving notice has been given by that person, at that address
If you are serving notice on an organisation you must address it to the secretary or clerk of the organisation at their registered or principal office.
You know the names and addresses of some of the other landowners and any tenant of an agricultural holding
You must serve notice to each landowner and tenant whose names and addresses you know.
You must also publish the notice in a local newspaper.
If you do not know the names and addresses of any of the other landowners and any tenants of an agricultural holding
You must publish the notice in a local newspaper.
In all scenarios, once you have served notice, you must submit a copy of the notice used when making your appeal.
