Brownfield Land Register Submissions - How we use your personal information

At Stafford Borough Council we take your privacy seriously and will only keep and use your personal information for reasons the law requires or allows. 

We are a data controller for the personal information we hold about you regarding Supplementary Planning Documents representations.

The purposes for which your data will be used

To enable the processing of planning and associated applications and any subsequent appeals. 

Planning and Compulsory Act 2004 and the Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017. Local Planning Authorities are legally required to maintain and publish a register of previously developed land. The brownfield register forms part of the evidence base required for local plan preparation. This links largely to the information submitted to the SHLAA (see separate form). Landowners, developers and agents are publicly invited to submit sites to the SHLAA which they would be interested in developing to the local planning authority: details of site submissions include contact details e.g. phone number, address/email address and other information such as land ownership for instance.

Our lawful basis for carrying out these tasks

We are able to do this because we have your consent to do so, legislation says we must do it and that it is in the public interest to do so.   There are several pieces of legislation that apply to the processing of planning and associated applications. The main rules that set out how to process these applications are contained in:

The legal basis is set out in Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017.
