We welcome your views on all planning applications that are open to public comments.
Most types of planning applications have a 21 day consultation period in which you can make comments. All comments received during this period will be taken into account.
A comment can be made:
All comments are available to view on our website within 5 days of us receiving them. There will always be a delay in being able to see a comment. This is because each comment has to be manually checked and any personal information redacted if necessary.
Please allow the full 5 days to pass before reporting that you are unable to view a comment.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to respond to each representation individually but your comments will be carefully considered before the application is determined.
Only include information that you are happy for others to see as all comments, including your name and address, will be published on our website.
When making a comment please do not include:

Examples of comments that cannot be taken into account when deciding an application:
We reserve the right to remove any information that we consider to be defamatory or breaches equalities or any other legislation. Our decision is final. If complaints are received about the content of any comments we will, where appropriate, seek legal advice before taking any action.
If you make a comment we will inform you of the outcome of the application.
If the application needs to go to our Planning Committee you will be informed and invited to apply to speak at the meeting.
We will also inform you if there is a subsequent planning appeal about a condition or refusal on the application. In this case all comments received on the original application will be forwarded to the Planning Inspectorate and will be published on their website. They will redact any signatures, telephone numbers and email addresses.
Please note that for some appeals relating to a refusal on a householder, advert or certain minor commercial applications there is no further opportunity to make comments. The Planning Inspectorate will only consider the comments made on the original planning application.
