Registering visitor accommodation: technical guidance - Reviews and appeals

A person can request a review of or appeal any of the following decisions by WRA:

• a decision relating to the registration of a person
• a decision to issue a notice requiring information or a document
• a decision relating to a penalty

But that person cannot appeal the decision unless:

• that person has given WRA notice of a request for a review of the decision
• WRA is required or has decided to carry out a review of the decision, and
• the period for the WRA to issue their notice outlining the conclusions of their review has ended

In practice, this means an appeal cannot be lodged with the tribunal unless a review is first carried out by the WRA in respect of the disputed decision. 

For further guidance on reviews and appeals, see TCMA/5000 onwards.
