If you have a complaint about the Planning Services Department then
please go through the Council's Complaints Procedure. If you are still
not happy then you can go to the Local Government Ombudsman, who is an
independent person that investigates allegations of
maladministration causing injustice to the person who has
complained.
If your application is refused or if the
Council does not make a decision on it within the given period, you
have the right of appeal to the Planning
Inspectorate who will determine the appeal. You must appeal
within 6 months from the date of the decision notice or if no
decision notice has been issued then 6 months from the date that
the decision was due to be made. For further

If you want to make a complaint about a
development you believe does not have planning permission or does
not comply with planning conditions then please contact our
