How we use your information
Using your personal information
We will use the information you have given us to process the representations you make in relation to a planning application.
Planning applications records, including representations that are received, are made public and will be published and available to view on the council’s planning portal. Details of representations (including names and addresses) are listed in the background papers to reports on planning applications that are presented to the committee, which are public documents.
Once a decision has been made on an application, representations will be removed from the council’s planning portal but will be retained offline with the relevant planning application documentation and archived. We may also use personal information for historical, research or statistical reasons.
Personal information will only be processed when it is lawful to do so.
