Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

Planning Appeals

If planning permission is refused the applicant has the right to appeal the decision, or appeal against one of the conditions imposed on any approved application. A notice of refusal will always be accompanied by information about how to appeal.

If an application is granted planning permission, there is no 'third party' right of appeal - only the applicant has that right - however the matter may be pursued through a legal challenge in the high courts.

For more information about previous/current appeals and the appeal procedures please follow the external links below:

• Planning Inspectorate Appeals
• Planning Portal Appeals

You can also find additional guidance regarding planning and enforcement appeals within the additional resources section below:

In addition, the council's Online Planning facility also provides details of previous and current appeal decisions - ONLINE PLANNING SERVICES.
