Regulation 4 Right to appeal a decision on an application for consent to alter, remove or replace

An owner who is given notice of a consent decision may appeal on any ground to the First-tier Tribunal against the decision.

For the purpose of paragraph (1), a responsible authority which, at the end of the last day of the notice period, has not given an owner notice of a consent decision which it has made is taken to have given the owner notice on that day refusing to give consent.

On deciding an appeal under paragraph (1), the First-tier Tribunal must confirm the consent decision or substitute it.

In this regulation, “notice period” means the period of 2 months beginning with the day following that on which a responsible authority receives an application for consent under paragraph 6 of Schedule 1.
