How we look after your information

Information we collect

When you complete the consultation form, we collect the information you provide, including your first name, last name, email address and, if you choose to supply it, your telephone number, together with the comments you submit.

We also collect the minimum technical information needed for the form to work — for example how it was submitted — and use basic safeguards to prevent automated or fraudulent submissions.

How we use your information

We use the information you provide solely to review and record your response to the consultation, to contact you about your submission if necessary, and to prepare the consultation report. We do not use it for marketing, and we do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

Sharing

Your comments may form part of the consultation record reported to the relevant planning authority. Personal contact details are kept separate from public-facing summaries of comments wherever possible and are not published unless required to do so.

Retention

We keep your personal information only for as long as needed to administer the consultation and to comply with any planning or legal obligations, after which it is securely deleted.

Your rights

Under data protection law you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and to object to or restrict its processing. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.

If you have any questions about this policy or how your information is handled, please get in touch using the consultation form on this website.
