We cannot acknowledge any comments that we receive and due to the significant number of representations received we will not answer any questions raised. All representations will be considered, summarised and addressed in the case officer's report.
We can only take comments relating to material planning considerations - such as a loss of privacy, of light or a risk to safety - into account. You can find out more about what material considerations are on the Planning Portal.
If there is an appeal on an application, all comments relating to it are copied to the Planning Inspectorate so you should only include information that you are happy to be made available.
Defamatory comments
If we receive comments about a planning application that are considered to be defamatory to another person, we will not include them in any reports or publish them on our website.
Including defamatory remarks in your comment on a planning application can put you at risk of legal action for libel.
