Consultee Access
This is a tool which enables you to:

We encourage town and parish councils to use this tool.
Our Public Access system benefits anyone wishing to comment on an application:
- submit comments online which instantly upload to the planning system
- you can view online immediately
- you know we have received your comments
- track applications – if you have commented on an application, the system notifies you of the decision
