The request was partially successful.

Dear Mendip District Council,

Good morning,

Thank you for your email.

After a search into the location I cannot find a planning application for the installation of bollards at this site. Do you have any more information so that I can complete a more thorough search?

Kind Regards

Dear BETechnical,

Thanks for your response Zoë. I don't have any other information, other than a photo of the bollards - would this help? I can't see how to attach a photo here, so will send it to your Email address. Except that's not visible ... how can we do this?

Yours sincerely,

David Poyner

Dear David,,

It appears that your system is stripping out our contact details, I will type out the email address using spaces, but when you email us take the spaces out:-

be technical @ mendip . gov . uk

I will advise that Planning Permission is not required to erect the bollards and Car Parks and our Assets Team are the best people to speak to. I have cc'd them into this email and they should be able to contact you directly.

Dear BETechnical,

Thanks Lisa, got it. I've just sent six photos: three from last September and three from April 2020.

The Email addresses must have been stripped out by WhatDoTheyKnow.com ... it certainly wasn't my laptop!
