Use of Your Information and Data

As part of the planning process, we (“Stratford-on-Avon District Council") will publish on our website and generally make publicly available any representations that you make.

We do this in the exercise of our official authority as a local planning authority.

Before we publish representations online, we endeavour to redact signatures, telephone numbers, email addresses and any sensitive information (e.g. relating to health or finance). We may also redact any comments which we believe may be considered defamatory or offensive.

However, please note that representations are treated as public information and will normally be posted on our website. Therefore, when making representations please only provide information (including personal details) which you are happy for other people to view.

We will use any email address that you provide to acknowledge receipt of your representations.

Your information will not be used for any other purpose except as permitted or required by law.

Representations made by third parties will be removed from our website after a decision has been made on a planning application. All representations will be retained in our archives and public access may be granted upon request.

For our contact details, those of our Data Protection Officer, and further information on how we handle your data including details of how to access your data rights (e.g. the right to have inaccurate information corrected, your rights to complain etc.) – please see our Privacy Statement.
