Enforcement Appeals

You have the right to appeal against Enforcement Notices serviced by the Council. There is no right of appeal against a Breach of Condition Notice or a Stop Notice.

Appeals must be sent to the Planning Inspectorate within the time limit specified in the Notice. The appeal must be received by the Planning Inspectorate before this date for the appeal to take affect.

It is important that the Enforcement Appeal Form is completed accurately, including the full ground for appeal. This information can be detailed in a letter. It must be accompanied by all the relevant documents. Late appeals cannot be accepted.

Completed appeal forms must be returned by post or can be completed using the Planning Portal to the Planning Inspectorate. You should also send a copy of the completed enforcement appeal form and relevant documents directly to Hackney Planning Service, as the local planning authority.
