Planning consultation

Having your say in local development

Consultation with local residents and local business is at the heart of the planning process. Not only can you comment on major planning documents like the Local Development Framework (LDF), you also have a right to comment on individual Planning Applications.

To find out more about commenting on planning applications read our advice note How can I comment on a planning application.

Planning policy addresses local needs identified through your views and comments and various community and regional plans. From time to time, as new documents are developed, we will be running consultation exercises with local residents, developers, community groups and other stakeholders. Your comments will help shape the Local Development Framework and various other planning documents. For the latest consultation please see below.
