The following protocol for issuing the reports in this way has been approved by the council : You will receive an email in advance to advise of the document being sent, and with a request that you confirm that the email address is valid. Once we receive confirmation we will submit the report. If we do not receive confirmation regarding the email address, we will try to contact you by phone to establish the correct email address.
