Local Development Framework Consultation
The LDF Consultation System enables comments on consultation documents to be submitted and viewed online
The Council has established an electronic consultation system which enables individuals to register on the consultation database, make representations on consultation documents online and view all comments which have been made. This can be reached from the Offsite Link on the right; 'LDF Consultation'.
The Council would encourage use of this electronic system which is easy to use, will acknowledge and provide you with a copy of your comment, if required, and will enable efficient analysis of comments received. There is a Site Tour Guide to help you through the process, but if you experience any problems using the system please contact the planning policy team and we will be pleased to help.
