Good neighbour agreements appeals: form and guidance
How to make a good neighbour agreement appeal.
You have the right to make a good neighbour agreements appeal to Scottish Ministers where a planning authority:
- has refused your application
- has not issued a decision within the set timescale
The attached guidance explains:
- what the appeals process is
- how to complete and submit your form
- how to get in touch
- how to submit documents to the DPEA electronically
Your appeal must be made within three months of the date of the planning authority's decision. Or within three months from the date the decision should have been issued. Appeals made after this cannot be considered. You must also send a copy of the appeal to the relevant planning authority.
There is no fee for this type of appeal. Everybody who participates in the process is normally expected to cover their own expenses.
You can track the progress of your appeal online.
