Text of
Petition
We, the
undersigned, call on the Welsh Government to introduce legislation which will
grant more rights for third parties to appeal on planning decisions. Currently,
even those who are directly affected by planning approvals are considered as
third parties to applications and have little or no rights to appeal or even to
input into planning conditions. The judicial review process is aimed at
developers and the time limit of six weeks to submit such an application is not
suitable for community action groups. Third parties should have the same rights
as a developer to appeal in planning decisions and should not have to send all
communications through the elected ward member.
Status
This
petition was considered completed by the Petitions
Committee
at its meeting on 03/12/2019.
Given that the proposal for third party appeal rights
has been rejected by the Welsh Government – as it was during previous
consideration given to this issue during scrutiny of the Planning (Wales) Act
2015 – it is difficult to identify how the Committee can take the petition any
further. The Committee therefore agreed to close the petition and thank the
petitioner for her contributions to the process.
Full details of the
consideration of this petitions by the committee and related documents can be

It was first
considered by the Petitions Committee on 23/10/2018.
