Neighbour notification

We want to make it as easy as possible to help you find out about planning applications and to understand the planning process.

The way we tell people depends on the type of application being made.

Major and minor developments

All owners or occupiers will receive a letter telling them about planning applications if their building is within 20 metres of any part of the application site.

If it is a major planning application a site notice will also be put up as required by law. We will also advertise these applications in local newspapers.

Other developments (includes all householder developments)

All owners or occupiers will receive a letter telling them about planning applications if their main buildings are within 10 metres of any part of the application site. Planning officers will assess what counts as a main building but it won’t usually include sheds or other outbuildings.

Site notices

Site notices will be put up on all applications where letters haven’t been sent to people in neighbouring properties. This will usually be in isolated locations where there are no immediate neighbours
