News

The scanning and publishing of our current planning applications onto the web is contracted to a private company. Unfortunately they are currently experiencing problems with their turnaround times and, as a result, documents are not being published onto the web within the agreed 3 working days. We are in daily contact with the company who are working hard to improve their turnaround times.
