We strongly encourage responses via the online survey, particularly from organisations with access to online facilities such as local authorities, representative  bodies, and businesses. Consultations on planning policy receive a high level of interest across many sectors. Using the online survey greatly assists our analysis of the responses, enabling more efficient and effective consideration of the issues raised for each question.  

This survey begins with the following mandatory “about you” questions:

Question 1: What is your name?

Question 3: Are you replying as an individual or submitting a response on behalf of an organisation?

The remaining questions are optional.
