Comment on a planning application

During the 21-day consultation period anyone can submit comments on the development - either objecting or supporting, or a general comment. All valid comments will be considered when making a decision on the application. You can only comment on a planning application during this 21 day consultation period.

What type of comments will be considered?

The most common types of comments that will be considered are:

does the development conform to planning policies and the Joint Local Development Plan?
comments about the design
impact on neighbouring properties such as severe loss of light or privacy
impact on highway safety

We cannot consider comments about:

loss of view

personal character of the applicant
moral issues

What will happen if anyone objects to my application?

Even if objections are received, this does not necessarily mean that the application will be refused. A copy of the objection (or support) will be placed on the paper planning file which is a public file and the case officer will consider the comments for and / or against when assessing the application. Receiving objections to an application does not necessarily mean that the application will be rejected.
