Planning Enforcement Charter 2026

Planning Enforcement Charter 2026 - Appeals

Where a notice is served the Developer can, in most cases, submit an appeal to the Scottish Ministers. Most enforcement appeals are delegated to Reporters within the Scottish Government's Planning and Environmental Appeals Division (DPEA) to determine. If this happens timescales will be affected. The Council will defend notices served and you will also have the opportunity to make representation to the Scottish Ministers during the appeal process. 

Service Standard - 5
If someone appeals against an enforcement notice, we will tell you within 5 working days of being informed and explain how you can keep track of the appeal. After the appeal decision is made, we will let you know what further action, if any, we plan to take.
