Local Review Body
If your local application has been refused, has not been determined within the specified statutory time period of two months, or you consider that conditions attached to your planning permission are unreasonable, you can seek a review by the Local Review Body. This applies to local applications which have been determined under delegated powers.
If your application is a major application, or was determined by the Development Management Committee, you have the right of appeal to Scottish Ministers (DPEA). Click here for more information.
To seek a review by the Local Review Body, you must submit a ‘Notice of Review’ which sets out why you wish the case to be reviewed, and by what procedure, or combination of procedures, that you wish to be used for the review. The notice should be addressed to:
Local Review Body
Committee Services
West Lothian Civic Centre
Howden South Road
