All planning applications are considered against both national
and local policies. The Council's plan contains specific policies
with regard to particular types of development, as well as general
policies relevant to the consideration of most applications.
We will also consider comments from other departments and
organisations and relevant comments from any neighbours or members
of the public. These are received through the Publicity
and Consultation process.
The case officer will make a site visit to the judge the effect the
proposal may have on the surrounding area. If they feel that
changes are appropriate, they will discuss these with you and may
ask for revised drawings. If this occurs, we will make these
drawings available for inspection and, if the changes are
significant, notify people that a revised proposal has been
submitted.
For larger applications, the case officer may find it necessary to
request additional information on matters such as traffic and
environmental impact. Where this is necessary, they will be happy
to discuss details of what level of information is required.
You can track the progress of your application and view the
documents associated with it using
Search and View (external link).
