How to comment online
The best way to comment is online:
- Enter the application reference number, postcode, address or keyword (such as a business name) in the bottom search box.
- Find the application you are interested in from the list that appears, and click on the green title to open up the application you want to look at.
- You will be taken to the planning application screen, which has a number of tabs at the top (you will be on the 'details' tab). To read the documents, click on the 'documents' tab.
- You will see a list of documents that have all been submitted by the planning applicant - they are not always named the same, but good ones to look at are application form, amended plans, site plans etc.
- To read the documents and see the plans, click on the 'view' icons on the right hand of the table. You can also use the ruler to see the size of plans. If you want to download any documents, put a check box in the left hand box(es) next to the document(s) and click 'download selected files'.
- If you want to comment online, click on the 'comments' tab. You will need to register if you are not already signed up.
- We will automatically publish your comments on the same page (personal details such as your signature, email addresses and telephone numbers are automatically redacted) if provided, however names and addresses will be published as we do not take into account any anonymous represenatations in the determination of applications.
Alternatively, you can email neighbour.responses@lichfielddc.gov.uk - please quote the planning application reference number in your email title - this is shown at the top of the planning application screen - and starts with a number (such as 19/00000/XXX).
