Major Planning Development
Important notice: Royal Mail industrial action
The Royal Borough does its best
to communicate with all interested parties of planning
applications. However, we are dependent upon the Royal Mail for
delivery of our neighbour notification letters. The current and
possibly prolonged Royal Mail industrial action may mean that these
are delayed in the post.
In addition to these letters, we do also place
notices at the site of planning applications and you are encouraged
to be vigilant for these in your area. It is also possible to sign
up for a weekly list of applications in your area to be sent to you
by email. If you would like to do this, please see our email notification
service
If you wish to comment on applications during
this period, we would encourage you to use our online
comments form
Also, if you need to submit an application, we
would encourage you to use the Planning Portal
The Royal Borough handles over 3,000 planning applications each
year and is committed to being professional, adaptable and
transparent in all its dealings with its customers, providing high
quality, unbiased advice at all times.
Applications are determined in accordance with the current
agreed planning laws and policies. Comments are invited on all
applications; if you wish to submit a comment on an application
simply complete our online comments form or write to us quoting the
application number, before the given deadline which you will find
with the application details and documents.
You are advised that the Council scans all comments received
about applications and makes them publicly available on the
Internet. If you object to this, you should clearly say so at the
beginning of your letter.
