We must give people a chance to comment on any planning applications we receive.

We do this through:

  • notification letters to neighbours. We write to people whose property immediately adjoins the site. And other properties that the development may affect
  • site notices. We put a site notice up outside the property. This makes neighbours aware of the development proposal
  • press notice. We publish a notice in the local press with details of the development proposal
  • applications register. We upload it to the online planning applications register. This allows you to search and view the application and all the associated documents

You do not need to have received a notification letter to comment on the application.

Not all applications use all the notification methods. The type of notification and consultation depends on the type of application and the proposal.

For more information, view the Statement of Community Involvement.
