Public consultation: consultation with neighbouring residents, premises and community groups - this is usually through the display of a public notice displayed on or near the site; for certain types of application, we will also include a notice in the local newspaper.
What to consider when you comment
A petition will only count as one representation.
Remember that only certain issues can be taken into account. These include:
- whether the proposal is in line with the current policy plan for the area
- appearance and character of a new building
- increased noise and disturbance, such as from an increase in traffic
- safety of new roads, accesses and parking for road users and pedestrians
- affect the new building may have on employment or the local economy
- changes to public services
- how the new building may affect the landscape or conservation
- neighbours losing light or privacy
We can't take into account:
- personal circumstances of the applicant
- the fact that development may have already begun
- competition between firms
- moral arguments
- loss of a view from a private property
- fears about the loss of property value
- the fact that the applicant does not own the land
- matters covered by leases or covenants
Due to the large volume of correspondence received on planning applications, we will not respond to any third party representations. However, your comments will be acknowledged and taken into account by the planning officer in their assessment of the proposal, summarising relevant comments, which will be addressed within the report. Planning officers will not be available to meet with third parties.
