Neighbour notification for planning applications

Making a comment (representation)

You can comment on an application to:

  • support it
  • object to it
  • make a general observation

You can make comments, within 21 days of the latest date:

  • that the application was registered with us
  • when you were notified as a neighbour
  • where it was advertised by us

Comments made during the pre-application stage of a major development do not count as formal representations.

You must submit a new comment once the application is live. Comments are referred to as representations.

Our View and comment on planning applications pages provides guidance and detail on how to make your comment.
