How we use your information
The planning application and supporting documents, including all comments made about the application, may be viewed by members of the public on the Council’s website or at our offices by appointment.
Should it be necessary to present the application to the Planning Development Management Committee, copies of your comments may be circulated with the papers for the meeting, or made available for inspection on the day of the meeting. If you withdraw your comments they will be removed from our website and they will not be taken into consideration when determining the application. If we receive a withdrawal prior to the agenda being published for Committee we will not publish the withdrawn comments.
How long we keep your information for
Your comments will be kept on file for ten years from the date of the determination of the application, or ten years from the determination of any subsequent appeal or enforcement action. This is in accordance with the terms of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and supporting regulations.
