FOI: Classes of Information

 

Classes of Information Held

The Planning Department maintains files related to Planning and Building Control applications, as well as Policy Development records, Strategic Planning records, and Administration records. Most of these files are maintained in hard copy, although some recent applications may also contain electronic (PDF) files, such as building plans. FOI applicants are encouraged to state the Block and Parcel information for the subject parcel they are interested in prior to making an application, as this is one of the key ways we can search for a file.

 

Information Already Published

The Planning website (www.planning.gov.ky) contains application forms, Central Planning Authority minutes, meeting schedules, applicable laws and regulations, contact information and annual reports. We recommend FOI applicants to first consult the website to determine whether or not the information they are looking for has already been published.

Annual reports for the Planning Department can be found in the Forms and Document section of the Policy Development webpages.

 

Status of Building Permit Applications
