----------
Of the councils where I have contacts, less than 50 per cent currently
publish applications on the WWW. Of the ones that do, not all of them include the
applicant's name but they publish full details of the agent. In most cases the
agents are asked if they want their details made available and the majority
want the publicity.
Of all the councils that I know of that publish full details on the web, all
but one asks for the consent of the applicant. I do not know of a single
authority that publishes names and addresses of objectors.
I presume the decision to publish on the web is one made at a fairly senior
level withing the planning department or in the council cabinet/committee. It
may come down to the sympathies of the DPO or the planning officer.
