Planning

The Parish Council is a statutory consultee of all planning applications  that go through one of our two planning authorities. Loosely, any application south of the A30 goes to the Dartmoor National Park Authority, and anything north of the A30 goes to West Devon Borough Council. The Parish Council aims to comment on all planning applications but does not have any decision making powers. All our most recent responses to planning application can be seen below. 

Council will always listen to the comments of parishioners (positive or negative) about an application so please do get in touch. Applicants, or those with concerns, are entitled to speak during the public participation section of a meeting and can be asked questions during the planning section of the meeting if the councillors desire this.  

The Parish Council treats all planning applications equally. While the Council aims to comment on all applications, we cannot advertise applications further around the village. 

Planning applications can be viewed on the planning authority's website - the DNPA and WDBC. Both authorities are looking at reviews of their Local Plans. The DNPA's local plan information can be found here and West Devon's can be found here.
