Commenting on or following a Planning South application

If you would like to make a comment on a planning application or follow its progress the quickest and easiest way to comment is online using the buttons below.

You will need to register to receive a Planning Search login and password. You can also find out how to do this below.

When you submit your comments, please keep the following in mind:

• You should submit any comments online within the 21-day consultation period. You can still comment online after the consultation period has expired and until a decision is made. However, we recommend you do so as soon as possible because a decision can be made at any time after the expiry of the consultation period.

• The first time you submit comments online, you will be asked to create an account with a log in name and password. This makes sure that the comments you make go directly to the Planning Case Officer. This means they can be checked, uploaded and published online quickly. You will receive re-consultation, Planning Committee and Appeal Notifications if applicable. You can also set up notifications or track an application.

• The comments you submit won’t be visible to the public until they have been reviewed. We aim to publish comments within 5 working days of receipt. Do not make comments that are offensive, abusive or malicious as they may not be published.

• Make sure you only share information that belongs to you and that you are comfortable with others seeing. Do not include personal contact details such as email addresses, postal addresses and phone numbers.

• Please do not include links to external websites or sources in your comments. Please keep comments concise and related to planning matters (see ‘How to comment on a planning application’ below).

• For help using the online system to view applications or submit comments please phone 0300 123 2224. Please note that we cannot accept comments over the phone.
