I HAVE been told by neighbours who wish to make comments on a planning proposal that the WDDC planning website for searches is not working. 

I have now tried it myself numerous times over the bank holiday weekend and it indeed goes to an error screen when a search is submitted. 

So the public with extra time over a long weekend cannot submit any comments on planning applications - how convenient.

This, along with the failure of the WDDC planning department ‘Pro Team’ to acknowledge or even respond to some emails makes me wonder if they are actually interested in serving the public and protecting our living environment at all?

It would be interesting to hear from other readers who are also finding this ‘service’ lacking and whether due to their failure, the council will now extend the period that comments can be made? 

Is there is anyone at WDDC who will deal with this?
