PARTICIPANT COMMENTS:

"I have gained a greater understanding of the whole application process from receipt of application to the decision notice being dispatched, how the decision is reached by using policy decided at national, regional and local level and the use of conditions"

"It has given me a greater insight into the role of Committee Members, so able to give more information to customers when answering queries. Also on the work undertaken by the Planning Officers and looking at areas where we may be able to help them further"

Lorraine Gray, North Norfolk District Council
