Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Zoning Board Approval - Appeal

I have been granted a special exception by the local Zoning Board to build a driveway and parking spaces in my rear yard, due to my property being on a corner and the rear yard being the only sizeable area to have room to maneuver. A number of neighbors agreed to screening the driveway but have NOW changed their minds. What is involved in an appeal and how long could it go on, if they challenge the already granted special exception?

Re: Zoning Board Approval - Appeal

I suggest you consult with legal counsel. If you have been given an exception and there has been no appeal for thirty days after the decision has been rendered the neighbors have no remedy. It is not clear from the balance of the question just when the decision was rendered. Good luck.
