We will note all comments and publish them on our website for public viewing. Your name, address and comment will be displayed.
- You must include your name and address with your comments (we accept e-mail addresses, so we have a way to contact you regarding your comments if required). We can’t accept confidential or anonymous comments.
- You must not include any other personal information in your comments.
- When making a comment, make sure that it is not offensive, harmful or untrue. If it is, your comment will be removed from the website. You’re responsible for any statements that you make.
- Views expressed by third parties on our website are not the views of Brentwood Borough Council.
If you need to include information that shouldn’t be public, make sure you highlight this at the beginning of your comment and we will remove it before the letter is published.
We can’t respond to individual comments, but you can track the progress of the planning application on the planning register.
You must have an online account with the Council. If you haven’t already registered or logged in, you will be prompted to before you can leave your comments. Appropriate checks will be made to ensure the authenticity of online accounts and comments posted. Any accounts or comments found to be fraudulent will be removed.
If your comments are lengthy, we advise you to type them into a word processor first then paste them into the comments form.
What should my comments include?
Your comments can only be properly considered if you give reasons which relate to the planning application and to planning matters.
When considering a planning application, it’s not whether owners and tenants of nearby properties would experience financial or other loss from a development, but whether the proposal would affect the local buildings and facilities as well as the existing use of land and buildings which should be protected.
Planning applications will be judged in accordance with adopted development plan documents unless there are relevant planning considerations which suggest otherwise.
