I have visited the e planning page on THC web site and I note that there are now 52 comments associated with this application. For those with access to the internet - and this can be done through the local library - members of the public have a way of making their views known, whatever those views may be.
Just a quick question though, does anyone know how those less familiar with IT have faired with finding out about or making their views known on the application?
I was just a bit concerned that members of the public may have had to struggle to get access to the plans to look them over since the planning office in Nairn has closed - although there is an office in the same building as the Service point isn't there or has that changed now?
Hi, they are very helpful in the service point, they let you have a look in private in the wee room and will make copies if you are willing to pay. You can also make an appointment to see a planning officer when they are in Nairn. It isn't ideal and let's hope we don't lose even that.

Hi APT Sec

Here it is again:

50 plus comments - It's a pity they can't be read online too - the HC site promises that? Hopefully the planning dept will be able to access them :-)
YES,I think that maybe a problem APTSec.Some people don't actually know what to do.They are not all up to speed.
