Consultations on planning applications
You may be aware that at the meeting of the Planning Advisory Committee on 17th January 2017 Members agreed that Parish and Town Councils should be consulted on proposed arrangements about how they are to be notified of planning applications.
At present we write to you and send, through the post, the associated documents and plans submitted in support of the application.
With our aim to be innovative and supportive of paper less working practices as well as encouraging the submission of applications electronically via the Planning Portal website, there is an opportunity to receive application notifications from us sooner through the use of email.
I am therefore writing to ask you to consider how you wish to be notified in future. I would be grateful if you would indicate your preference on the attached pro forma and return it to our Validation team by 5 May.
