Occupation of common marine and coastal area - Review of conditions applying to extended coastal permits

165ZFHN: Right of appeal

You could also call this:

“You can ask a special court to change a decision about rules for using the sea and coast.”

If you’re unhappy with a decision made by the consent authority when they review the conditions of a permit, you might be able to appeal to the Environment Court. You can do this if you’re the permit holder, or if you were told about the review and gave your thoughts on it. You can appeal all or just part of the decision.

If you want to appeal, you need to follow the rules set out in section 121 of this act. This section explains how to make your appeal.
