Contact Planning

Please note that we are currently experiencing very high volumes of work and this may have an impact on the time taken to respond to calls and emails.  If you cannot find the answer you are looking for on our website then if possible, please could you email any queries to the relevant Officer or email plservices@eastcambs.gov.uk, we will then endeavour to respond within 5 working days.  Please allow this time to lapse before making contact again.

In line with our Neighbour Notifications & Consultations Guidance Leaflet (pdf), the Planning Officer will not respond to neighbour responses but will ensure that any material planning concerns raised are addressed in the Officer’s Report.
