Planning Application Process

Customer Satisfaction Survey

In order to improve our service, the department is working on a Satisfaction Survey, to see where we can improve what we do and communicate better with the community.  Watch this space!  But please get in touch with us if you have any feedback or suggestions on things we can do to assist with all things planning-related. The quickest way is by email: planning@scilly.gov.uk but you can also phone the department 01720 424455 or drop us a letter to the Town Hall.
