>>This is very strange. Isn't retaining a record of planning history
- back to 1947 - an essential part of an LPA's function?
Certainly not up here. It is, of course, a
regular issue when members of the public want to know how and why a decision
was made in the 1980s or 1990s, but no, we don’t keep it any more.
>>Our planners have just had all their recent planning history files
digitised (last 10 years or so), and the original microfiche for the earlier
applications are stored with the scanning company and will be digitised on
request (at the expense of whoever needs the information).
We do have a digital version of planning
decisions going back to the late 1990’s, but that’s all – and
pre-2007 the accompanying documentation is not scanned in, nor is it ever
likely to be.
Also (plug) we have had a large
proportion of the pre-1948 building applications for
No HER21 up here ;) , and certainly no
guidance from the national body.
