Whenever any application for a permit is denied, the applicant may appeal the denial to the Division of Law by filing a written notice of appeal within 10 days after receiving written notice of the denial of a permit to remove or destroy trees or shrubs. The Township Attorney or Assistant Attorney shall hold a public hearing on the matter, in accordance with rules of procedure to be established by the Division of Law, and may modify, affirm, or reverse the decision denying a permit.

An applicant filing an appeal must pay the sum of $25 to cover the administrative cost of the appeal at the time the appeal is filed.
