Security, Data Protection and Online Documents

It is a principle of the planning process that it should be open and transparent. In accordance with national guidance on best practice, the council will try to make as much information as possible available via the online Public Access register.

In following the council's Data Protection Policy the following procedures are followed when publishing documents online.

As part of the planning process we publish many documents, and on occasion human error can occur. If you notice something on the site that causes you concern please email planning@bassetlaw.gov.uk - please provide the application reference and document details and we will do our best to resolve the matter.

General Correspondence - Private Individuals

As representations on planning applications form part of the Statutory Register we will publish the sender's name and address but will endeavour to blank out personal signatures, email addresses, telephone and mobile numbers before documents are published online.

Applicants

Applicants' names and addresses are published as these form part of the statutory planning register. We will endeavour to redact personal signatures, personal email addresses and personal telephone numbers before documents are published online.

Business Letters

We will redact signatures only.
