How to apply for a review
- Fill out and return a notice of review form by email review.body@highland.gov.uk or the Review Body Administration Team address, not the planning office
- Submit via the eDevelopment Scotland portal
- Phone us on 01349 886608 and we will send a form out to you
Time limits
Regulations require that a review must be submitted within 3 months of the date that appears on your decision notice. We cannot accept a review after this time period, as this would be contrary to the regulations.
Fees
Any review lodged on or after 9 June 2025 will be subject to a fee as set out in The Town and Country Planning (Fees for Local Reviews) (Scotland) Regulations 2025.
Some types of development may benefit from a waiver or reduction in fees. The correct fee must be received before your review will be determined. Reviews lodged with an insufficient fee will be acknowledged but not progressed until any fee required has been received in full. Fees will be checked at the point of validation, and you will be informed of any outstanding balance. The Fee Calculator on the eDevelopment portal will assist you with working out if any fee is required.
Documents you must submit
Along with your completed notice of review form, you must submit all documents, drawings or plans that you wish to rely upon. All information submitted at the planning application stage will automatically be reconsidered as part of the review, so this information need not be submitted again.
If you do not submit supporting documentation, the Review Body may either proceed to determine the review based on the information presented to them or may continue the review to receive further information. If you fail to submit supporting documentation that is referred to in your review, this will delay validating the review.
