Mid Suffolk District Council has gone live with consultation on the proposed changes to the Planning Statement of Community Involvement. This concerns a proposal to stop sending neighbour letters for certain types of planning applications, as most neighbour comments are received electronically. There is a statutory requirement that we notify neighbouring residents about a planning application by sending a letter, or by placing a site notice on display in the relevant location. Currently, MSDC believe that they go above and beyond this and do both.

The consultation is now open and runs until 23:59 on Monday 12 May 2025. 

Relevant documents can be found in the panel on the left of this page.
