Planning enforcement

Rights of appeal

If you have been served with a notice you may have a right of appeal to the Scottish Government. 

The notice will state if an appeal is possible and the timescales involved, but in general you only have a right of appeal against the following types of notice: 

  • planning, listed building and advertisement enforcement notices 
  • advertisement discontinuance notices  
  • amenity notices (formerly known as wasteland notices)  
  • tree replacement notices 

Enforcement appeals should be sent directly to the Scottish Government and not to us.
