Make it more accessible for people to find and comment on planning applications

Petition Details

On council websites, large scale developments sit alongside minor works such as tree removals. This makes it confusing and time consuming for the public to have their say on new developments in their area, leading to a lack of effective public awareness and consultation during the planning process.

Additional Information

It can be difficult for people to clearly see what major changes are occurring in their city. Often times, people aren't aware that a new building is being planned until it begins construction. It should be made more clear to the public what is being proposed and it should be easier for people to have their say on the matter. This can be done by consulting local residents directly about major works, or by using a common sense approach to prioritise displaying large scale changes online.
