General guidance for appealing a planning decision can be found on the Government's website:  Appeal a planning decision: Overview - GOV.UK

Appeals are dealt with via the following methods:

• Householder appeals: This is an appeal process for householder (HH) applications. Third parties do not have the opportunity to make further representations to the Planning Inspectorate
• Written representations: This is the most common method and involves written submissions from the person making the appeal (appellant) and us. All those concerned including third parties can make comments to the Planning Inspectorate
• Hearing: This type of appeal involves an informal discussion of the issues, which is lead by the Planning Inspector following written submissions. Third parties can also make representations to the Planning Inspectorate
• Public inquiry: This is the most formal of the appeal processes and is usually reserved for cases that are complex, controversial or need witnesses to be cross examined. Third parties can also make representations to the Planning Inspectorate
