TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990
Appeals to the Secretary of State
∗ If you are aggrieved by the decision of your Local Planning Authority to refuse permission for
the proposed development or to grant it subject to conditions, then you can appeal to the
Secretary of State for the Environment under Section 78 of the Town and Country Planning
Act 1990.
∗ If you want to appeal then you must do so within SIX months of the date of this notice, using a
form, which is available from the Planning Inspectorate, (a copy of which must be sent to
Newham Council) or complete an application online.
The Planning Inspectorate, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol, BS1
6PN (e-mail: enquiries@pins.gsi.gov.uk ) or (Tel: 0117 372 8000).
To make an appeal online, please use www.planningportal.gov.uk/pcs. The Inspectorate will
publish details of your appeal on the internet. This may include copies of documentation from
the original planning application and relevant supporting documents supplied to the local
authority, and or information, including personal information belonging to you that you are
happy will be made available in this way. If you supply personal information belonging to a
third party please ensure you have their permission to do so. More detailed information about
data protection and privacy matters is available on the Planning Portal.
∗ The Secretary of State can allow a longer period for giving notice of an appeal, but he will not
normally be prepared to use this power unless there are special circumstances, which excuse
the delay in giving notice of appeal.
∗ The Secretary of State need not consider an appeal if it seems to him that the Local Planning
Authority could not have granted it without the conditions it imposed, having regard to the
statutory requirements, to the provisions of the development order and to any directions given
under the order.
∗ In practice, the Secretary of State does not refuse to consider appeals solely because the
Local Planning Authority based its decision on a direction given by him.
Purchase Notice
∗ If either the Local Planning Authority or the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister refuses
permission to develop land or grants it subject to conditions, the owner may claim that he can
neither put the land to a reasonably beneficial use in its existing state nor can he render the
land capable of a reasonably beneficial use by carrying out any development which has been
or would be permitted.
∗ In these circumstances, the owner may serve a purchase notice on the Council in whose area
the land is situated. This notice will require the Council to purchase his interest in the land in
accordance with Part VI of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
