The Parish Council is consulted by NHC, and responds to them, on all planning applications in the parish. For applications where there is a significant village interest on on-site meeting of the Planning Committee is usually held. Parish councillors are always keen to hear the views of local residents before agreeing their own response and members of the public are always given an opportunity to speak at these meetings.
