Essential maintenance to our planning services

There will be disruption to our planning services from Thursday 17 July to Saturday 19 July. This is whilst we carry out some essential maintenance. You will not be able to search or comment on a planning application during this time. We apologise for any inconvenience. 

I want to see a copy of a planning document that isn't on your website

The FOIA and EIR recommend a policy of 'disclosure', in other words if you wish to see a document then you should be able to, as long as giving that information does not break any of the rules in the GPDR.

We will not be able to supply any documents containing sensitive or confidential information. This might include documents containing email addresses and telephone numbers, locations of rare species of wildlife, or information that an applicant has told us is commercially sensitive. Examples of sensitive documents are some viability assessments, documents containing financial information or medical information. Any documents we do supply will have personal details redacted.

Building Control documents are not public information and are not sent out to anyone other than the applicant or agent.
