Really? They've started putting all applications on the internet, where you can search for free here. It sounds like things work very differently where you live. Dont they even have to notify all of the local ocupants and have public notification of applications with a time period for people to complain? I got a letter through my door notifying me of work to a bridge just down the road, even though it seemed like essential engineering works.

People might thingk that councils are biased when making the final decisions over aplications but that have to publicise the process and give people a chance to have their say.
