FOI request (FOI-73806319)

Councillor Chowney has recently stated that scrapping planning notification letters will save 50,000 pounds per annum.

It is my understanding that when the cabinet approved scrapping the letters in December 2016 an annual cost of 10,000 pounds was stated as the savings.

Could you please provide the following information on planning notification letters for the following years 2012,2013,2014,2015 and 2016:
