What should I enter in the 'document comments' field when uploading a document? 

You should enter a meaningful description of the file you are uploading, for example: 'Front elevation part 1'. 

You may also find it useful for consistency to make the document comment match the filename. 

For detailed guidance on supporting documents, read our application guidance1 for help submitting online using Planning Portal Wales.
