Consultations
When a decision is likely to affect individuals, businesses or organisations, the council seeks their views before taking the decision.
Where the decision is likely to have an impact on the general public, a special consultation process is held to gather the views of the community. The consultation may take the form of a questionnaire, public meetings, exhibitions, posters or all of these, depending on the issue.
We regularly carry out consultation exercises before taking decisions on council services and strategies - here you can find out information on current consultations.
A direct feedback form is included in each consultation.
Orders under consultation
Wildfires have a huge impact on people and the environment and are often caused by human activity.
To reduce the risk of moorland wildfires, the Council is proposing to ban the use of BBQs, campfires, camping stoves, fireworks and sky lanterns in areas most at risk and we want to hear your views on our proposals.
Please read the draft PSPO before completing this short online survey by Monday 26 May 2025.
