Appeals
When an application is refused, only the applicant has a right of appeal to the Planning Inspectorate.
Appeals may also be made against conditions which the council has imposed on a permission and which the applicant considers unreasonable.
If you have been notified of a planning application or have submitted a comment about it, we will inform you if an appeal is made.
Excluding householder appeal types you will then be given the opportunity to make any comments directly to the Planning Inspectorate.
How to appeal
For guidance and to make an appeal, please visit the Planning Portal.
Please send all correspondence directly to the Planning Inspectorate and not the council.
All appeal documentation will be added to the original planning application on the online planning register.
Appellants/Agents/Rule 6 parties please note:
As from 1 November 2019, we will be changing our procedure for booking break out rooms for any appeal hearing or public inquiry:
- if you would like a breakout room at the council offices, you will need to request a room as early in the process as possible via development.control@bracknell-forest.gov.uk
- if a room is available there will be a fee, payable in advance, of £200 plus VAT per day per room - once the fee has been received, the room will be booked for your party
We will not provide hard copies of any documentation for the appeal - all necessary documents will be shared to all parties in PDF format only
