  1. Address change

  2. The updated guides have been amended to clarify that if an appellant has an agent acting on their behalf, all communications will be sent to the agent. No correspondence will be sent directly to the appellant.

  3. Previously, the guides instructed appellants to email their biodiversity metric to us because excel folders couldn't be submitted. This has now been resolved and excel folders can be submitted if they’re moved to a ZIP folder and the ZIP folder is submitted.

  4. Updated to reflect the expectation of a s106 agreement to be submitted at the point of making an appeal rather than 7 weeks from the start date.

  5. Guide updated to include a reference to the new AI guide.

  6. • Take account of the changes to enforcement brought in by the LURA • Replace the customer email address with the customer form • Replace ‘DLUHC’ with ‘MHCLG’

  7. Updates were made as part of work to simplify and streamline appeals guidance.

  8. Customer Form: Customer services and general enquiries link added
