The statutory requirement for consultation on planning applications is a minimum of 21 days. The online comments form is linked to the statutory time period and will close after this time.

If the online comments form has closed, you can still comment via email to [email protected]

We will take account of all representations received right up until an application is determined.

Please note that if the Comments Until date shown is before the Application Registered date this is because either:
  •  we are not required to consult on the application (you can check this in our
     Statement of Community Involvement); or
  •  the formal consultation period has not yet started by the application being advertised in the
     local newspaper or site notice(s) being put up at the application site.
