Thanet Planning Website Blog

Congratulations to Thanet District Council, their Thanet planning website has now gone interactive and you can comment on planning applications as you would on a blog.

Yes really your comments will be available for everyone to see, this is a first and major step by TDC towards more open government, by using the internet interactively.

It isn’t clear if objections sent by post will be published too, however its obvious that they should be and presumably will be in the fullness of time.

Post a Comment

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
