Planning and Enforcement Appeals
Appeals against Planning
Applications
Following a decision of approval, if you find any conditions
unreasonable or unacceptable, you can lodge an appeal or submit an
application to have them altered or removed. If your
application is refused, you can lodge an Appeal within 6 months
from the date of the refusal. Only the person who made the
application for planning permission can appeal.
Appeals against Enforcement Notices
If you are served with an Enforcement Notice that you find
unreasonable or unacceptable, you can lodge an appeal against
it.
General Information
Appeals are lodged with the Planning
Inspectorate and not with West
Lancashire District Council. You can submit your appeal to them
online. Appeals are considered by a Planning Inspector and
most are conducted through writing although some are decided by a
hearing or public inquiry.

We publish our own Planning Appeal Registers , Planning Appeal
