Understanding Non-Determination Planning Appeals

When you submit a planning application to your Local Planning Authority (LPA), they are required to make a decision within a specified time frame. These time frames are:

  • 8 weeks for minor applications

  • 13 weeks for major applications

  • 16 weeks for applications requiring Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs)

If the LPA fails to make a decision within these statutory periods, and no written agreement has been made to extend the decision period, you have the right to file a Non-Determination Planning Appeal with the Secretary of State.

This process ensures that your application is not left in limbo and is given a fair assessment.

The Non-Determination Planning Appeal Process

  1. Eligibility Check: Ensure that your application has passed the statutory time frame without a decision and without an agreed extension.

  2. Appeal Submission: Prepare and submit your Non-Determination Planning Appeal to the Planning Inspectorate within six months of the date a decision was due.

  3. Inspector Appointment: The Secretary of State will appoint an Inspector from the Planning Inspectorate to consider your appeal.

  4. LPA Explanation: The LPA will be asked to explain why they did not determine your application within the specified period and what their decision would have been if they had.

  5. Inspector's Decision: The Inspector will assess the Non-Determination Planning Appeal and make a final decision on your planning application.

While appealing might seem daunting, it ensures your application gets the attention it deserves.
