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.
