Planning committee
The Planning Committee meets every four weeks to scrutinise and comment on all Parish planning applications. The Parish Council does not have specific powers for planning matters. Any comments made are reported to and considered by the Planning Authority at the District Council.
Where necessary site visits are made so that councillors can make better decisions based on the surroundings, rather than just looking at plans.
Residents making planning applications, or objecting to them, are able to attend the planning committee and make representations. Residents wishing to support or object to planning applications should put their comments in writing to EHDC, copying LPC.
The Village Design Statement has an influence on planning decisions, see the document under the Village Design Statement tab. Where a major development is being considered the applicants should consider discussing it with LPC first.
Planning applications may be viewed in the LPC office, it's best to phone first to check. Planning information is also available from EHDC using this link:
