During the 21-day consultation period anyone may submit comments on the development - either objecting or supporting, or a general comment. Any valid comments will be taken into consideration when making a decision on the application. Comments on a planning application can only be submitted during this period. 

Submitting comments
It is possible to submit comments:

• Online: Track and Trace planning applications
  You will need to search for the application you wish to comment on in the Track and Trace system and then follow the Submit a comment on this application link in order to submit a comment.
• In writing: Send your comments by post to:
  Planning Service, Council Offices, Ffordd y Cob, Pwllheli, Gwynedd. LL53 5AA

You can view details of planning applications by looking at the Track and Trace planning applications system online, or by calling in at Siop Gwynedd, Ffordd y Cob, Pwllheli during office hours (Monday - Friday, 09:00 - 17:00).

What type of comments will be considered?
These are the most common types of comments that will be considered as part of the consultation period (the list is not definitive):

• does the development conform to planning policies and the Unitary Development Plan?
• comments about the design
• impact on neighbouring properties such as severe loss of light or privacy
• impact on highway safety

We cannot take into consideration comments which are submitted about:

• loss of view
• land ownership disputes
• personal character of the applicant
• moral issues
• property devaluation

What will happen if objections to my application are received?
Even if objections are received, this does not necessarily mean that the application will be refused. If 3 or more valid objections are received, the application is likely to be referred to the Planning Committee for consideration.
