What information will we hold and how will we use it?

The name, address, telephone number and email address of the applicant and any agent will be recorded on our planning database.

Whilst your pre-application enquiry will normally be confidential your enquiry, together with any response by the Council, may be released under a Freedom of Information request unless you advise us that the information is commercially sensitive. In any case, once an application is submitted and the proposal is in the public realm, then any pre-application discussions are likely to be made publicly available.

Your personal email address, personal telephone number and signature will not be made publicly available.

Any medical information submitted will be redacted unless there is exceptionally a legitimate reason for this special category of data to be processed.

Your information will be used for planning related reasons including but not limited to:

• Assessing your planning enquiry, giving advice and contacting you regarding this
• Consulting with other internal staff/departments for their input to give you a full response
• Consulting with external statutory consultees if necessary for their further advice
• Consulting with Devon Building Control with regard to building regulations
