Publicising in local newspapers doesn’t reflect current trends. It would be better to use a social media platform that the public can opt into. Also the ‘public posting’ process needs to have appropriate checks from the Development Management team - we have seen cases of notices positioned as much to obscure as publicise, posted late or not at all, and neighbour notification failings.

For major applications e.g. Industrial developments the visual impact on properties beyond 90 metres can be significant and have adverse impacts on the property itself. It could also adversely impact on potential property purchasers decision process if the development is not identified on a property search because it is beyond 90 metres.
The number of people who now read local newspapers is falling dramatically so the use of this format to identify planning applications needs serious reconsideration by National and Local Government. The development of local community consultation groups to feed information to for cascading more widely may be appropriate.
