Between 5pm on Tuesday 17 February 2026 and Tuesday 24 February 2026, the Planning Portal and planning consultation area will be unavailable due to essential maintenance work.
During this time, applications and comments cannot be submitted.
To ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to participate, the consultation period on active applications submitted via the Planning Portal before Wednesday 18 February 2026 will be extended by seven days.
Please note that the Local Plan Alternative Site Consultation is still available and comments can be submitted at: Local Plan Alternative Site Consultation Response Form.
Thank you for your patience while we complete this essential work.
You can view any application for planning that has been submitted to the council using our planning online register.
Comment on a planning application
Anyone can comment on a planning application, but your comments must be made in writing. You can support, object to or make a general comment. Any relevant material planning consideration raised in your comments will be taken into account when we make a decision on a planning application.
