As part of the Local Plan preparation process, we may need to share your information with the Planning Inspectorate/Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government when legally required to do so.
If you submit representations at the statutory publication stage of the Local Plan and onwards, we are legally required to pass on your comments to the Planning Inspectorate/Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government when the Local Plan is submitted for examination. If you do not wish your details to be passed on to the Planning Inspectorate then the Council and the Planning Inspector will not be able to take your comments into account as anonymous comments are not permissible.

Personal data will be kept for the duration of the process of producing a Local Plan, which may take several years.
Once a new Local Plan has been adopted we will consider the need to retain your information and may contact you to check the details we hold are up to date, and that you wish to be contacted about future Local Plan work.
