Advance Notice – Publication of Public Comments on Planning Applications

Published: 20 August 2026

From 1 September 2026, the Council will publish public comments received on planning applications through the online Planning Portal.

This change is being introduced to improve transparency and openness in the planning process and reflects the approach already adopted by a number of other planning authorities.

What information will be published?

Where you submit a comment, representation or objection on a planning application, the following information will be published and available to view online:

  • Your name;
  • Your address; and
  • The content of your representation.

What information will not be published?

The Council will remove personal information that is not required for planning purposes before publication, including:

  • Email addresses;
  • Telephone numbers;
  • Signatures; and
  • Any other sensitive personal information.

The Council will also not publish any comments that contain offensive, defamatory or otherwise inappropriate content.

When will this change take effect?

The publication of public comments will apply to all planning applications validated on and or after 1 September 2026.

If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact the Planning Service by email planning@dundeecity.gov.uk or contact the Duty Planning Officer 01382 433105.
