If you want to comment on a particular application you can – go to Planning on the website, put in the number WA/2020/???? and then click on the comment box .
Here at the Waverley Web we regularly check-out important planning applications on the Waverley planning portal. . At least, as many as we can. However, our team – guys and gals are working – so forgive us if, in the past, we have picked out the most controversial.
However, we are well aware that navigating websites isn’t the easiest thing in the world to master – so we have decided to do the hard work for you.
From now on we will post up the weekly lists at an easy click of the button. So you can know what is going on in a green field, or in the house next door to you.
Just click on this link on the main page under the Spider’s Web – which will cover applications made this week across the borough. Don’t be parochial see what is going on in the whole of ‘Your Waverley.’
Why is the planning process so pathetically slow? Maybe Paul Follows can shed some light on it?
We hear this from many of our followers Mike B. In fact, it is becoming quite ridiculous and is going beyond a joke. We know of one applicant who put his planning application in a year ago and has heard absolutely nothing. The wheels of the planning department seem to be grinding ever more slowly. We understand that councillors received a message we will post on our pages shortly. So as the saying goes – there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. We are also concerned that many more applications appear to have been determined by officers, under their delegated powers. However, they do not report those decisions to councillors at planning meetings.
I will look forward to a response from Paul Follows explaining the situation and what he plans to do to remedy it….
