Guidance

Appeals

Refusal can be caused by two main reasons, the first being that one or more signs locations may not meet the criteria set down and a rethink on where the signs are placed will be required. The second reason is that the signs or development does not meet the required standards and a complete rethink will be needed before a resubmission will be accepted.

We will explain the reasons if an application is refused. An appeal can be made but the applicant may need to make changes to fit in with the requirements set down in the guidelines.
