Actually, the court would ask if you filed an appeal with the Zoning Board, something that has to be done within 30 days of a Planning Board decision. If the ZBA either upholds the Planning Board decision or chooses not to hear the appeal, then you can go to the court. If you skip a step the court is likely to deny hearing the case because you didn't follow the proper procedures.
