Guide for objecting / responding to planning permits – Planning & Environment Act 1987 To object you should clearly complete the details on this form and lodge it with the Responsible Authority as shown on the Public Notice – Application for Planning Permit. You must state reasons why, and how you would be affected by the granting of a permit. The Council may reject an objection that it considers has been made primarily to secure or maintain a direct or indirect commercial advantage for the objector. If you object the Council must consider the objection unless you withdraw it in writing.
