Planning appeals in Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is not in England, so the Planning Inspectorate does not decide its planning appeals. They are decided by Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW). SiteLens holds that body’s own record, read against that nation’s rate instead.
