Planning Appeals on-line

Welcome to planning appeals on-line. Here you can get information about all of the cases dealt with by the Directorate for Planning and Environmental Appeals since September 2002. You can view recent decisions or search for information about a particular case.

For most of the cases that we deal with all of the documents are published to the web so you can see all the information that is in front of the reporter when the case is being considered. Where documents are not available on-line please call 01324 696 400 or e mail dpea@scotland.gsi.gov.uk and we will try to make them available to you.

In order to comply with the Data Protection Act (DPA) we remove all signatures, personal telephone numbers and personal e-mail addresses from documents that we publish. We also remove most documents from this system 12 weeks after the decision has been made although those published under ‘ grounds of appeal’ and ‘decision’ will remain. More information on our publication rules and the DPA is published on the main Scottish Government web site.

This system is updated once every 24 hours, usually overnight.
