What happens if my neighbours object to my proposal?

To consider objections on planning applications received from neighbours they have to be valid in terms of adopted policy and guidance.  Most polices can be viewed the Wirral Council website: http://www.wirral.gov.uk/udp/

Applications may be removed from the Scheme of Delegation and subsequently presented to the Planning Committee for decision under certain specific circumstances. The circumstances are as follows;

• A formal request to remove an application from delegation based on a valid planning concern is made by a Councilor. OR
• A qualifying petition of objection is received containing signatures from 25 or more different addresses is submitted. OR;
• 15 individual objections are received.
