Impugnar una decisión urbanística
Cómo apelar una denegación de permiso de planificación.
Visión general
If your planning application is refused by the local planning authority, or if conditions are imposed that you disagree with, you can appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. Third parties who object to a grant of planning permission cannot appeal but may seek judicial review in limited circumstances.
Proceso paso a paso
Understand the Refusal
Read the decision notice carefully. It will set out the reasons for refusal, referring to specific planning policies. Consider whether the reasons can be addressed.
Consider Your Options
You can: submit a revised application (free within 12 months), appeal to the Planning Inspectorate, or seek pre-application advice before resubmitting.
Submit Your Appeal
Appeals are made online to the Planning Inspectorate at acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk. Include your original application, the decision notice, and a statement of case explaining why the decision was wrong.
Appeal Process
Most appeals are decided by written representations. More complex cases may use an informal hearing or a public inquiry. The Inspector will visit the site.
Inspector's Decision
The Planning Inspector issues a decision letter either allowing the appeal (granting permission) or dismissing it. The decision is binding on the local authority.

Advertencias importantes
Strict time limits apply — most appeals must be made within 6 months of the decision.
