If you have applied to the Council for a planning permission, listed building consent, conservation area consent, lawful development certificate, advertisement consent or consent to do works to a Tree Preservation Order tree and they have:

• Refused permission
• Gave permission but subject to inappropriate or unreasonable conditions
• Rejected a proposal arising from a condition
• Not decided the application within 8 weeks

However, you should look carefully at the reasons and speak to the Council's Planning Application officer for the case to see if the problem can be sorted out, for example; by considering changing your proposal before making an appeal.

You can submit a modified application on the same site within one year of the date of refusal.
