What happens at appeal

The process from here

This application is at appeal, which passes the decision from the council to the national planning inspectorate, or in Scotland usually to a local review body first. The appeal considers the scheme afresh against the same policies.

Anyone who commented on the original application is normally notified and can comment again within the appeal deadline. Appeal decisions take months rather than weeks, and the outcome replaces the council's decision.

About telecoms applications

How this application type works

Telecommunications applications cover masts, antennas and cabinets, most of which come forward as prior approval cases under permitted development rules. The council typically has 56 days to consider siting and appearance only. The need for the network itself is treated as established, so objections carry most weight where they address visual impact or siting.
