Covid-19 Update:

As a result of current home working limitations due to current restrictions and an increased number of planning applications and emails, we are experiencing some unavoidable processing delays. Before contacting us for an update on your application or enquiry please allow additional time of approximately 10 – 15 working days. We are implementing measures to address these delays as best possible and your understanding and patience are appreciated.

Commenting on Planning Applications

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.

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.

You can also submit your comments via email or post. Please note, these methods will take longer to appear online and may be subject to additional delay
