Local Planning Applications

The Parish Council is a statutory consultee for the purposes of The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 which is the legislation governing all development in England and Wales.

This means that all applications for planning permission are scrutinised and commented on by the members of the Parish Council. We don't have the power to approve or refuse an application; those powers are vested in the Planning Authority (Herefordshire Council). Our role is consultative to provide valuable local knowledge which helps in deciding whether applications comply with the requirements of planning law, the local plan and other planning guidance.

The table below shows brief details of applications within the parish. Further details on all applications can be obtained from the Parish Clerk. Letters are usually sent from the Herefordshire Planning Office to premises likely to be affected by applications giving the time scale and where letters of objection or approval can be addressed. Notices are also sent to the applicants to be displayed out side the premises or site to which the application refers. These notices must be displayed for a minimum of three weeks.
