First: Have You Actually See The Plans?
Don’t get carried away with hearsay! Make sure you have a look at the planning application yourself and work out how it will affect you. If you think it will spoil the countryside then you might want to oppose it. On the other hand, it could be something that you wish to actively support - such as the provision of much needed affordable housing to keep villages alive or expanding a village post office to keep it viable.
You can visit planning departments in person to look at plans or you can look at all planning applications online so check the relevant website by following these links
Second: Have you spoken to the relevant Planning Officer?
Each Planning Application has a Case Officer assigned to it. Get in touch with them, ask what is happening with the application and how and when you can oppose or support the plans. Contact details will be on the planning application or you can ring the relevant planning department:
Third: Do you need more information on how the planning system works?
Have a look at CPRE National Office’s Planning Help for up-to-date advice.
