Planning Process
​
Parish Councils have the right to make comments on planning applications affecting their area.
The planning authority (which is usually South Norfolk Council) allows a Parish Council 21 days to respond to a planning application.
Members of the public are encouraged to provide their own comments on District Council's planning pages. Guidance with regards to commenting on an application can be found on District Councils website.
Whilst the overall decision is the planning authority’s, the Parish Council’s local knowledge, combined with an understanding of the planning process, means that its views are more likely to be heard by the planning authority, so long as the Parish Council provides valid planning ‘material considerations’.
The Parish Council’s comments can be found on District Council’s planning pages.
