No doubt you have all been on the
receiving end of a flurry of emails this week due to the GDPR compliance
deadline. For those that may have gone
unscathed, this piece of legislation has been brought in across the EU to deal
with personal and sensitive data protection issues. Like many other businesses I have been
reviewing my procedures and have uploaded a privacy statement onto my
website. It has also made me ponder
about how many 4 letter acronyms are left (and how many have been used in
planning, which is renowned for its jargon).
I am also grateful that at least internet traffic is not the same as
road traffic – otherwise there would have been absolute chaos on the roads this
week, not to mention the smog!
And finally… like ships passing in the night, Hazelbury
Bryan’s Pre-submission Consultation ended, while Holwell’s consultation
began. Luckily a lot of the far-flung
statutory consultees can be emailed the various documents involved. Congratulations to both groups on reaching
this milestone.
