If a comment(s) has been made - to view what has been said:

Click on the 'View Documents' tab

Then click on 'View associated documents' on the page - this will open up the documents available to view in a new tab in your browser window

Then in the list of documents you are then looking for 'representations' (look for them in the 'Document desc' column) - note there may be more than one 'page' of documents related to the planning application, so you may have to select a different page of documents to find the representations (click on the 'page numbers' at the top of the screen - eg page 2 of 10)

If you then click on the 'blue underlined planning application ref number' next to each 'representation' (or comment) they will then open up in another tab in your browser and you can then read what was said in each them
