    Close
    We have all Welsh appeals from 2010 until September 2021. In October 2021 the Welsh Planning Inspectorate split into a separate organisation, the Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW), with its own separate system. Planning is a devolved power in Wales and for some years the legislation, administration and Planning Policy for Wales has been quite different from England. Given the increasing separation of the Welsh and English planning systems, we made the decision to not follow the separate Welsh appeals casework site when it was set up in October 2021. From this date you can find Welsh planning appeals at https://gov.wales/appeal-or-search-planning-decision-or-notice.
