Increase in the number of planning appeals

The Commission processes most appeals in the chronological order in which they were submitted and aims to deal with appeals as efficiently as possible.  However, due to substantial increases in the number of appeals submitted over the 3 years, 2005/06 to 2007/08, many of which are yet to be decided, the Commission is not meeting its target times to process and determine appeals.  As a result of these outstanding appeals you may experience delays in being notified of the arrangements for your appeal.

The Commission is currently considering cases which were received during the periods identified below:

  • Written Representations received up to and including the period May 2009.
  • Written Representations with Site Visits received up to and including July 2009.
  • Informal Hearings received up to and including October to December 2008.
  • Formal Hearings received up to and including February 2008.

If you require any further information on the intake and clearance of appeals, this is available on the Publication page, under “Latest Statistical Information Relating to Appeals”.
