Data protection
South Gloucestershire Council will publish any comments made on planning applications (including those made electronically) on this website, including any personal information like addresses and telephone numbers contained within it. It does not accept 'confidential' comments. By sending your comments you confirm that you agree to this and accept legal responsibility for your comments. Please note that defamatory, racist, discriminatory and other statements that are not relevant for planning considerations will not be published. For further information on the legal issues surrounding the publishing of planning applications and correspondence on the internet, please see the 'Comments on planning applications' page.
Some useful tips when commenting on an application:
- When signing your letter, print your name in capitals below the signature. Before your letter is published on the website the signature will be blanked out
- If you are submitting personal (medical) or financial information in support of your comments, please indicate clearly at the top of each document whether you are prepared for this information to be made publicly available
- If you are emailing your comments consider making your comment as a separate attachment, so that this can be published on the website without your email address
Disclaimer
South Gloucestershire Council makes every effort to maintain the accuracy of the information on this website but cannot accept responsibility for any loss or damage which may arise from the use of the information provided.
Please note that while the information is updated daily, it does not comprise the statutory register of applications and decisions and is not a substitute for a local search, details of which can be found on the 'local land searches' page on this website. Also, some applications may be incomplete, and not contain all the documents on the application.
We cannot guarantee that completing only one field (e.g. postcode) it will always pick up all the relevant applications, and you should therefore fill in as many fields as possible to maximise your chances, or try alternatives.
