Who can take part? Anyone who has never appealed a planning decision, or hasn't done so in the last five years. Interested? Register your interest: lnkd.in/ebz8pZsv Questions? Contact research@planninginspectorate.gov.uk #planningappeals #urbanplanning

What's involved? • A 1-hour video call at a time that suits you • Looking at a prototype website and telling us what makes sense (and what doesn't) • No preparation required—we're testing the service, not you #planningappeals #urbanplanning

We're looking for people to test a new version of the Appeal a planning decision service and share their honest feedback. No planning knowledge needed—in fact, we specifically want people who haven't been through the appeals process before. #planningappeals
