When you can appeal

Your local council makes decisions about right of way applications.

You can appeal against their decision if you applied to change the area바카라 사이트™s 바카라 사이트˜definitive map and statement바카라 사이트™ and either:

  • you disagree with the decision - this is known as a 바카라 사이트˜schedule 14 appeal바카라 사이트™
  • your local council did not make a decision within 12 months - this is known as a 바카라 사이트˜direction request바카라 사이트™

You cannot appeal if:

  • the council approves a different use for the land, for example they make an order for a footpath when you applied for a bridleway
  • you did not submit your original application correctly, for example you did not notify landowners who might be affected by the change

There바카라 사이트™s no fee for appealing.

Only the person who made the application can appeal. If you did not apply, you can comment on an appeal instead.

When you can expect a decision

Once your appeal is validated, you바카라 사이트™ll normally get a decision within 30 weeks.
