Commenting on Planning Applications
Guidance on how to comment
The Council has produced a guidance note on
commenting on planning applications which sets out how to
make your views count and also what constitutes a material planning
issue.
NOTE - All comments should include the relevant planning
application number and also the site address.
Your comments will be fully considered by the Planning Officer
who is dealing with the application and they will be taken into
account as part of the assessment of the proposal. If the
application is to be reported to the Planning Committee then a summary of the
points that you have raised will be included in the Committee
report.
The Council operate a
public participation scheme for those applications that
are scheduled for consideration by the Planning Committee.
This allows residents to address the Committee to air their
views. A leaflet is
available which explains the public speaking procedure at the
Planning Committee.
All comments from neighbours and other interested parties will
be scanned (personal contact details will be hidden) and will be
published on our website.
