Your Data

Broadland District Council takes your privacy very seriously. Under data protection legislation we lawfully process your personal data as it is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of the official authority vested in the Controller.

Any personal details you supply will be used solely to assist the determination of the planning application that the comment relates to. Your postal address will be published on the Council's website, alongside your comment, and may also be inspected at our Council offices. All other personal data (including your name, email address, telephone number or signature) will be held securely and not be shared with the public. However, please note that your comment may be reported to and minuted if the application is one which is considered by the Council's Planning Committee. The personal data supplied as part of the process of you commenting on an application will be retained on the website and on file for six years from when the comment was made.
