Respond to a planning application

On a local level, we don’t have the resources to be able to respond to all the planning applications that are put forward in Norfolk. However, if you are concerned about a planning application near you having a detrimental effect upon wildlife, please read the advice provided in our downloadable guides below.

These guides provide advice on how you can comment on applications near you to defend and protect your local wildlife.

It is important for local communities to make their views heard on applications that may impact local biodiversity. Local planning authorities encourage public participation and welcome any assistance that can ensure fully informed and balanced decisions.
