If you own a property nearby and you want the Inspector to see the appeal site from your property you should request this when you write to the Inspectorate. 

They will then notify you of the date and time. However, the Inspector will decide whether they need to come to the property. If they do, the appellant and a Council representative must come to.

You would not, normally, be notified of the date of the site visit (written procedure) by the Council.
