ANNEX II: An Independent Board to Deal
with Complaints to the Planning Inspectorate
Although all complaints would be handled by the independent
board, the right of appeal to the High Court would remain. For
complaints about appeal decisions, appellants would have to choose
between the court and the board. In cases where a complaint had
been referred to, and decided by, the board, it would be possible
to appeal to the High Court against the board's decision on a
point of law within six weeks of the board's decision, or the
date of an Inspector's reviewed decision stemming from the board's
directed review. In these cases the right of appeal would be limited
to the amended/reviewed decision.
