ADVANCED WARNING; Public Access off line on 16th – 18th April
On these days the Council’s home page and the Planning and Building Control service pages of the website will be available, however there will be no access to Public Access (where you can view and comment on applications). We apologise for this disruption, which is caused by a need to upgrade Public Access and we provide this advance notification for your information. Please note these time scales are a worst case scenario and services may be available earlier.
