(Parental FOI ID 11115)

Dear Conwy County Borough Council,

ref 0/50673

A recent planning application for Abergele has seen online bullying which
has been photographed.

The Group online named planning objectors names and addresses and
discussed their nationality online.

Also people were being named as objecting despite there being no
objections from them.

A number of people were very distressed by this.

Can the council please clarify the following

1, What protection do people objecting to planning applications have from
bullying or intimidation regarding planning objections?

If a member of the public is suffering bullying or intimidation, this may
be a matter for the Police or obtain their own legal advice

2, Have people got the right to cut and paste objections onto social media
with addresses?

Information Not Held, we suggest you contact the social medial company
directly to ascertain their terms and conditions.

3, Due to events like this some people may be intimidated not to object,
due to this bullying.

Noted, no question to respond to.

4, Can people in these circumstances be protected?

Please see response to Q1

5, What policies does the council have on this?

We put a disclaimer on our website to state that we do publish
representations on line:  [7]Planning Explorer - Conwy County Borough
Council.  We also include this sentence in our neighbour notification
letters:  The law requires that any comments received regarding a planning
application become public documents. This means that such comments may be
seen by members of the public, the applicant and can be viewed online.

Please can the council clarify the following

Yours faithfully,

PBarr
