We're looking for people to test a new version of the Appeal a planning decision service and share their honest feedback.
No planning knowledge needed—in fact, we specifically want people who haven't been through the appeals process before.

What's involved?
• A 1-hour video call at a time that suits you
• Looking at a prototype website and telling us what makes sense (and what doesn't)
• No preparation required—we're testing the service, not you
