Highland ePlanning Web Access.

When using Highland ePlanning, please be aware of the following:

 

1.    Time-out when Making Comments

·         Once you have clicked on the 'Make a public comment' button, the page only allows 10 minutes to complete and submit a comment and will time out after this time. 

·         To avoid any information being lost, we would recommend preparing your comment in advance on a Word document, then cut and paste it into the Comment section.

 

2.    Planning Applications within the Cairngorms National Park Area

·         Comments will be accepted by The Highland Council via Highland ePlanning Web Access until the Neighbour Notification period expires and all comments will be forwarded to the CNPA to deal with.

·         If you try to make a comment on one of these applications after the Neighbour Notification period has expired, The Highland Council will be unable to receive your comment.

·         Please note - Applications may be 'called in' by the CNPA at any point btween The Highland Council receiving it and the Neighbour Notification period expiring - If you are already aware that the application you would like to make a comment on has already been called in by the CNPA, please forward your comments directly to them at planning@cairngorms.co.uk.
