We receive hundreds of planning applications each year for permission to construct or alter buildings, including houses, offices, shops, warehouses, factories and leisure facilities.
We encourage comments to be submitted through our online planning system to support transparent and effective public participation in the planning process.
This system provides easy access to application information and supporting documents, and records representations directly against the relevant application. It also allows you to track progress and view published information throughout the decision-making process.
All planning applications are available to view online. To comment, you will first need to register with our planning system. You will be asked to provide your name, address and email address.
Our step-by-step guide explains how to register and submit your comments.
When submitting comments:
- We can only consider comments that relate to material planning considerations.
- Your comments will be published online and made available for public inspection.
- We are required to publish your name and address as part of the public planning record.
- We will not publish your signature, telephone number, email address or any defamatory comment.
- Comments from members of the public and neighbours must be submitted before the expiry of the neighbour notification period or any associated public advertisement period, whichever is later. Please note that this date may differ from the standard consultation expiry date displayed in the Important Dates section of the public portal. Standard consultations relate to statutory consultees and other organisations that must be consulted on relevant planning applications.
