Footnotes:

Site Notices are to be used (other than where a statutory requirement) where neighbours cannot be identified, where the nature of development requires wider publicity or at the discretion of the planning officer.

* For minor and household applications: where the proposal involves no change to the front or side elevations of a building or no development within the frontage of a building (for example, rear extensions or outbuildings in rear gardens only) there will be no requirement to send letters to properties lying across the opposite side of a street to the front of the application property.

Wording in bold denotes a statutory requirement under the Town & Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) Order 2015, Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Act 1990 or Listed Building and Conservation Areas Regulations 1990.
