Do you want to be consulted on planning policy
documents?
If "yes", we would encourage you to join the Planning Policy
Consultation Database. We will notify you whenever we consult
on any draft new planning policy document. You will be
able to comment on documents online and see other
people's comments. The database is held by the Council, but
is run by an external company (Limehouse Software). Your
details will remain confidential, although your name will be
shown next to any comments you make on documents.

Consultation on planning policy documents
Under the new planning system, the Council will be preparing
several different planning documents. Together, they will make up
the West Lancashire Local Development Framework. Most of these
documents will have at least one round of public consultation and
so there will be more consultation taking place than previously,
although there will still be periods when no consultation is taking
place.
The Council must meet certain standards when consulting on
its LDF documents. These are set out in our
2007 Statement of Community
Involvement.
