The council normally has to consult people who own or occupy
neighbouring properties to the one where development is
proposed. Some applications are also advertised at the
relevant site and in the local press. People are usually given 21
days to respond.
If you receive a letter about a planning application relating to
land or property near to your address then comments can be
passed to us online via our Planning
Online section. Please remember to quote the reference number
from the letter.
You can also search for planning applications (if you do not
have a reference number). Just use the search
function and then add your comments.
You can also give your views by writing to the case
officer (whose name and address will be on the letter) or send
an email to the address at the bottom of this page.
By law, your comments must be available for anyone to inspect.
This includes publishing any comments received on our website via
the online planning system so your correspondence cannot be kept
confidential. The council will send a reply to all the letters and
emails received, so please provide your address, even if you send
comments by email.
