Thanks, Alex. Note the above: permission. I guess there is a possibility of asking submitters in these circumstances for permission and those developers who care about good public relations with their eventual 'neighbours' during construction periods and beyond would be quite happy to do so, no? If something is viewable upon demand in the council office, the information isn't secret after all. There are several ways to read law: restrictive and permissive. It's up to bureaucrats to consider the benefit to the public, but obviously that takes a bit of thinking and effort, too. I think it's worth a complaint all the same. That's the only way regulations and operations change.
