What is the Planning Portal's complaint procedure?

The policy aims to ensure that:  

  • Anyone with a complaint is listened to and treated with courtesy, empathy and fairness
  • Those with complaints are kept informed of the progress and outcome of investigations into their complaint
  • Action to rectify the cause of the complaint is identified, implemented and evaluated
  • We learn from complaints so that we can continually improve our service.


Contacting Planning Portal: Customer Complaints
