The Consultation Portal allows you to make comments online. You may be required to register your details in order to participate in certain consultation events.

The preparation of the Local Development Framework and Planning Documents is a statutory process and your full representation and address details must be made public for this purpose.

Representations must not be signed so that your signature is not automatically scanned and placed on the web site.
