Commenting on Planning Applications

All comments must be received in writing, either by letter, email or using the online comment facility. We cannot accept or consider verbal comments. The law requires that all comments received in relation to planning applications must be made available for public inspection. This means that any comments you submit will be published and available to view online and will include your name and address. We cannot treat comments as confidential. Similarly, we cannot consider anonymous comments on an application.

Please be aware that any comments submitted that are not planning related will be removed and will not be considered when assessing the planning application.

The quickest and most efficient way to comment on a planning application is to use the online comment function. This will ensure that the Case Officer receives your comment directly and they will also appear online within one hour of it being submitted.

If you submit your comments via email or post, please note, these methods will take longer to appear online and may be subject to additional delay as they are individually checked and published.
