thanks both, I was pretty impressed initially with the prompt start date, and site visit.... but sadly now it seems we are in for a long wait .Gov stats are helpful thank you. I (and our planners) have never come across the inspector being reallocated... My only guess is that they are either poorly or have left their role unexpectedly?

Hi all, We are currently going through an appeal for a refusal of planning permission for self build dwelling in conservation area. Our appeal was accepted and we had a start date of Feb 2025, and an inspector was allocated and came out for a site inspection 1st April. Things were moving along nicely. However, the inspectorate then emailed a few days later to say that we needed to be allocated a new inspector due to 'unforeseen circumstances' (no further explanation was offered) - how frustrating! It has now been 2 months since the initial site visit, and we still have not had a new inspector allocated to our appeal. We have chased several times, but the response is simply that they are awaiting for an inspector to become available. The delays are very frustrating, and wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with the inspectorate before? Thanks !
