If your application is denied, there are a few steps you can take depending on the type of application. Generally, you can discuss the decision with the relevant council officers, but there might not be a formal appeal process unless specified for your application type.
Here’s a breakdown of your options based on common situations:
| Application Type | Action | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| Street Trading | Discuss with council officers; no statutory right of appeal. | N/A |
| Community Support Grant | Request a reconsideration in writing or by email within one calendar month. | Within 1 month |
| Benefits Appeal | Request for a revision or appeal to a Tribunal within one month of decision letter. | Within 1 month (for revision) |
| Blue Badge | Submit an appeal by email or in writing within 28 days of the decision notification. | Within 28 days |
| Alcohol/Entertainment Licenses | Appeal to Magistrates if determined unfairly within 21 days. | Within 21 days |
| Pavement Licences | Consider if you can mitigate the reasons for refusal, representations will be reviewed by senior officers. | Appeal not available |
