Writing useful comments

Your comments help planning officers to understand the potential impact of the proposed development. To make your comments more helpful:

  • read the application documents and view drawings before you start
  • be specific and tell us which part of the application your comment refers to

Your comments will be made available to the public. Your response may be edited (redacted) if it includes personal information or offensive language.

What we will consider

We can only consider comments that are directly related to the actual proposals. These are known as ‘material considerations’. For example, we can consider comments that concern:

  • the design, size and height of new buildings or extensions
  • the impact of new uses of buildings or of land
  • loss of light and the privacy of neighbours
  • access for disabled people
  • noise from new uses
  • the impact of development on traffic parking and road safety.

What we cannot consider

We cannot consider issues such as:

  • disputes about civil matters, such as building freeholds or the ‘right to light’
  • loss of property value
  • loss of view
  • issues which are dealt with by other forms of law, such as party wall matters

We cannot refuse permission because of construction noise. However, we can restrict the hours of work to reduce disturbance to residents and other sensitive neighbours.

What happens next

Once you've submitted your form:

  • a planning officer will read and consider your comments
  • you can check the status of the application by using the application number
  • if you are commenting on a householder application, such as an extension, dropped kerb, new garage, driveway or roof alterations, you cannot make any further comments on this application

We will make a decision about this application by 19 August 2026.
