YOUR PARISH COUNCIL NEEDS YOUR VOTE

ONLINE PETITION
THE RIGHT TO APPEAL PLANNING DECISIONS
CLICK HERE TO VOTE

CLOSING DATE 16 APRIL 2016

Give parish councils the right to appeal planning decisions.

The planning system is unfair. It is one of the few decision-making processes that gives no right of appeal to affected third parties. The government should introduce a limited third party right of appeal by giving parish councils a right to appeal planning decisions to the Planning Inspectorate.
There is a fundamental imbalance in the planning system. Under current rules, if a council refuses a planning application, the applicant is allowed to appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. If a council approves an application, no one has the right to appeal. With the national presumption in favour of sustainable development throwing the planning system into disarray, in the interest of justice, the government should give parish councils the right to appeal planning decisions.

The Village Hall AGM will be on Wednesday 23rd March at 8.00pm - in the Village Hall

All are welcome
