Please refer to the notes and timetable below in order to ensure your appeal is heard on time. Anyone appealing beyond the deadline will still have their appeal heard, but this will not be treated as an “on time” appeal and it may therefore not be possible for the appeal to be heard until later on in the year – the independent clerk will advise you.
