Welsh Government publishes guidance for appellants on non-validation appeals

Article summary

The Welsh Government has published guidance for appellants covering when and how they can make an appeal against a notice issued by the local planning authority (LPA). If the LPA considers that an application for planning permission (or anything accompanying it) does not comply with a validation requirement under section 62 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, they must provide notice to the applicant. The provision that allows for non-validation appeals for applications made on or after 16 March 2016 is found in the Town and Country Planning (Validation Appeals Procedure) (Wales) Regulations 2016, SI 2016/60.
