Should you wish to view a historic planning application that is not available here or if you would like to view a hard copy of any application then please contact the Planning Department via 0300 1234 105 or by email at planning@scilly.gov.uk.
Should you wish to make a representation in relation to a live application, please see the applications individual page for details. The following document produced by Planning Aid indicates what sort of issues may or may not be relevant in the consideration and determination of the application.
Please note that a decision will normally be issued close to the decision due date (normally 8 weeks from validation for most applications) unless otherwise agreed with the applicant/agent. If the Committee date is blank, this means that the application is either being determined under the delegated powers of the Senior Manager for Infrastructure & Planning or it hasn't been determined whether the application requires a committee decision yet. Please note that a committee and delegated decisions under go the same consultation and consideration processes.
