Planning applications

Arrangements when consultation on planning applications falls between meetings

Links to planning applications received from the planning authority will be made available to the public on the Parish Council’s website.  The public will be given 5 working days to submit their views in writing to the Clerk.

The Clerk or other delegated person (should the Clerk be indisposed) will email the planning application number to the Members of the Planning Committee to view online, Members email by return their comments and their approval (support) or refusal (objection). 

The Clerk then collates the responses. Where these are evenly balanced the Chairman of the Committee can offer a casting view.  A public note will be made available of the final recommendation.
