Parish Councils are consulted by the relevant Planning Authority (which could either be the District/Borough Council or the County Council) on all planning applications. Any views expressed by the Parish Council will be taken into account by the Planning Authority before a decision is made, providing the points made are relevant to the planning application. However, the final decision is made by the Planning Authority and not the Parish Council.

Planning Applications

Anyone can make comments for or against a planning application during the statutory 21-day consultation period.

All valid comments will be taken into consideration when officers or planning committee members make a decision on any application. If objections are made to a development proposal, it does not mean the application will be refused. It may be that if a high number of objections are received that the application is referred.

It is possible to submit comments in a number of ways:

Considerations

Officers can only consider comments relating to what are known as material planning considerations.

  • does the proposal conform to the policies in the Local Plan and the National Planning Framework
  • comments about the design
  • impact on neighbouring properties in regards to severe loss of light or privacy and noise
  • impact on highway safety
  • pre-application advice that may have previously been given
  • previous appeal decisions or planning enquiry reports, including case law
  • impact on trees and nature conservation
  • impact on listed buildings and conservation areas
  • design, layout and appearance

How much weight is given to each consideration is a judgement for the decision-taker and officers are required to show how they have considered all relevant matters.

There are a number of issues that cannot be considered by officers, and these include:

  • private issues such as boundary disputes, damage to property or covenants
  • personal circumstances of the applicant
  • commercial competition
  • property values
