Common Questions
Q. Can I view plans for an application?
A. Yes all current applications are available for inspection by the public. These are available online via our Planning Searches service, and in the Priory Road offices.
Q. Can I see details of any objections that have been raised?
A. The copy of the application which the planning officer works on holds more technical information including consultations, objection letters. Whilst every effort is made to ensure that these are available for inspection it is not always possible to guarantee their availability as the officer could be working on the file. However, these should be available online.
