Comment on a planning application

You can view and comment on a planning application via our Public Access system.

How to submit comments

Comments must be made in writing and be received by the deadline given. You have 15 working days from:

  • the date of registration of the application, or
  • the date of the application details being officially advertised (where this is necessary), or
  • the site notice being displayed, or
  • the date of any letter sent to your asking for comments

(Whichever is the latest date – this can be viewed in the ‘Important Dates’ tab via Public Access)

It is recommended that comments are submitted online via Public Access. This enables you to submit comments online direct from the webpages relating to that application. They will be immediately published on the website.

As part of using the online system, you will have the option to receive notifications when status of an application changes and/or a decision is issued.

Alternatively, comments can be submitted by email or post to our Planning Team.

Please note that comments submitted via email or post will also be published to the website, however, due to their nature they will not be published immediately. They may take a few days to be published online.
