Information Leaflet 3: Comment on a Planning Application
Publicity for Planning Applications
If you are affected by a development proposal, you will have a chance to consider what is proposed, and how it will affect you. You also have the opportunity to make your views known to us before we make a decision on the application.
To help you we will:
- advertise all applications in at least one local newspaper (consents to display advertisements are not advertised);
- write to people who occupy buildings on land adjoining the application site boundary, and which are also within 90 metres of it;
- make the application and plans, and any Environmental Statement available on a Public Register for people to see;
- make the application file available, by appointment. The amount of information on the file will, of course, be dependent on the stage the application has reached;
- allow you to see consultation replies, representations made by interested people and the consideration being given to the application;
- hold planning clinics in certain towns where you may inspect applications and plans on the Public Register (by appointment only);
- take account of all relevant representations we receive;
and - give reasons for our decision to those who write to us about the proposal.
