A spokesperson for Dumfries and Galloway told The National that due to the “significant volume” of comments made to the local authority, it won’t post any of them online until the end of the notification period. They added that comments of support and objection will be grouped together along with a summary in a move which is unlike most of other planning applications in other local authorities.
