Get involved

Everyone who lives, works, runs businesses and studies in the Dover district is affected by the planning system. We are committed to involving local communities and other stakeholders in planning matters, so you can help shape development in our district.

We are required to put together a Statement of Community Involvement which sets out our approach to how we involve communities in the planning process.

This includes how to get involved, neighbourhood planning and how to have your say on planning applications.

You can read the full Statement of Community Involvement below.

Ways to have your say

There are several ways to get involved in the planning process, from submitting comments on a planning application to taking part in consultations.

• Have your say on a planning application
• Get involved in how we set planning policies (opens in new tab)
• Take part in a planning consultation
