Members of the public, Parish or Town Councils and any other amenity societies have up until the expiry date on the site notice or 21 days from the date of their notification letter to submit any comments on the planning application, whichever is the latter.

Letters of representation will be accepted after the publicity has expired, providing no decision has been made as the Council can proceed to issue a formal decision on the application after the publicity has expired.  If you are unsure of the status of an application contact the planning department for further advice or check the status of the application online.

Further information on how to comment on a planning application is contained within the Council’s leaflet:  Have Your Say!

If you wish to submit a representation, it is now possible to submit your comments online.  Alternatively, you will need to submit your comments in writing, quoting the reference number and/or site address and send them directly to: -

Development Services, Braintree District Council, Causeway House, Braintree, Essex, CM7 9HB

Letters of representation will not be replied to in detail, but they will be acknowledged.
