Planning Application Comments - Terms and Conditions

Personal Data

The documentation for planning applications and any representations received in response to them, whether objections or supporting statements, must be made available for public inspection, in accordance with the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985.  Provision is made within the Data Protection Act 1998  for publishing such information.  This means that we cannot treat such documentation or representations as confidential.

Documents submitted, and any comments made, will form part of the background documentation to the planning application, and are evidential information for this legal process.  In accordance with the requirements of The Environmental Information Regulations 2004, we publish planning applications and supporting documents on the website as well as making these available for inspection in hard copy.  

If you are making a representation (comment), you will need to provide your name and address to us.  If you don’t, your comments will be considered anonymous and your views cannot be taken into account.  Comments submitted via Public Access will be posted on the website shortly after receipt (usually within 48 hours).

We reserve the right to withhold from publication on this website any comments or parts of comments not considered suitable for public view for reasons including offensive or personal content.

Note: When using Planning's Public Access to make a comment, there is a statement to the effect that the comments will appear on-line immediately and that personal data will be removed. Unfortunately at the moment our systems do not cater for this and it is not possible for us to comply with either part of this statement. 

Disclaimer

The material on this website does not necessarily represent the full extent of information available in respect of planning applications, or necessarily all that retained on the Statutory Planning Register, held by us, the Planning Authority.  Certain information may be withheld from internet publication.  Access to the full content of planning applications will continue to be available at the council offices.

Whilst we make every effort to ensure that the information provided on this website is correct and accurate, we cannot accept any liability or responsibility should you rely on the information provided and later find it to have been inaccurate.

Please do not rely on any information from this site as an alternative to traditional searches.  If you have any reason to believe that any information is incorrect please let us know, email developmentcontrol@dover.gov.uk
