Proposal of Application Notice

A Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) is submitted to the Comhairle by a prospective applicant or developer in cases where the development requires planning permission and is classed a major or national development.  These notices are not planning applications but a notice to the Comhairle advising of how the developer intends to engage with the community about their proposal. A PAN must be submitted to the council at least 12 weeks before the application for planning permission is submitted and the developer is required to advertise and undertake at least two public events relating to the proposed development. The first event should collect views on the proposal from the community and allow the public to feed into the design process. The second event should outline how those views have been addressed through any updated design or mitigation measures.
