We are currently experiencing delays in validating new planning applications. This means it may take longer than usual for applications to appear as “valid” on our system. We are also experiencing delays in registering public comments and uploading them to the Planning Portal. All comments received will be reviewed, but they may not appear online immediately. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to return to normal service.
