You can use Public Access to comment on and view the documentation relating to planning applications.
This service allows you to view details and make comments on planning applications which are being considered, as well as viewing information for historic applications from 1974 onwards.
Setup 'Development Alerts' for new applications within your area
Once you have searched for an application you can save that search and ask to be notified when any new applications fitting the search criteria are received. Once the search results have been displayed select the Save Search button to save it - you will have to login / register to do this. When saving a map search you can specify either the map shown on the screen or a distance from the centre of the screen to search on.
If you would like to be notified of any new applications which match the saved search - select Yes for the Notify Me About New Search Results box.
