Dear Mr Stalker

 

Thank you for your request for information dated 23 March 2019 (received
by the Council on the 25 March 2019) which has been passed to me for
attention. I apologise for the delay in responding.

You have requested all documents relating to planning application
19/00215/LBC, as the application details were not available on the Angus
Council website.

The planning application has not yet been made “valid” by Angus Council.
This means that the application has not yet been accepted as being
complete and ready to process. The information submitted therefore does
not yet formally constitute a planning application, which is why the
information is not available on the Public Access system.

In any case, I attach all information submitted to date.

In compiling responses to information requests we invariably use
information which is routinely published on the [1]Council’s website or
through its [2]Publication Scheme.  If you require further information
please first check that the information you want is not routinely
published as any such information is exempt from release in terms of
Section 25 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 or Regulation
6(1)(b) of the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004.

Please note that the information contained in this reply is believed to be
accurate as at todays date (unless otherwise indicated) but no warranty is
given.  Further, Angus Council does not accept liability for any loss,
injury or damage which arises from the use of the information contained in
this reply either by you or by any other party.  Please refer to the
information set out in the Appendix which explains your right to complain
if you are unhappy with how the Council has dealt with your request.

If you have any queries, please ask for me on 01307 473259 or e-mail
[3][email address] .

 

Yours sincerely
