Cost awards made by planning inspectors - Find a freedom of information request

Please can you provide the following information about each planning appeal cost award or partial cost award made for or against your council (including information for any now-defunct councils that have been merged into your council) by planning inspectors between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2024:



Date of cost award decision

Date of appeal decision letter (if different to date of costs award decision)

Was the award for or against your council?

Has the amount of the cost award been determined (yes/no)?

Amount of sum (if determined) negotiated between the applicant and council for cost award (£)

Was the decision that was the subject of the appeal made against officer recommendation (yes/no)?

PINS case reference number



Please note that we are asking about planning appeal cost awards only, and not, for example, awards that relate to enforcement or householder appeals.



This is similar to a request we made in 2023, in which we asked for data for the five years to March 2023. In response to our 2023 FOI, your authority gave us data relating to the following appeal PINS references, for which we do not need further information:

- APP/Q2500/W/21/3276450
 

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you. 

During this period we have had to pay costs in connection with one appeal, which is the one mentioned in your request (APP/Q2500/W/21/3276450).

There have been no other appeals in this period, meaning there is no further information to provide for this request.
