Timescales and Costs
The time from submitting an appeal to getting a decision may run into months. The Planning Inspectorate publishes Planning Appeals - How long it takes guidance.
How much does it cost?
It does not cost anything to make an appeal. If you decide that you want someone to represent you, you may have to pay them for doing so.
If your appeal relates to an Enforcement Notice, you may need to pay a fee to the Local Planning Authority.
