Finding Out about Planning Applications
You can look at applications in detail on the LCC Planning Department website - details about accessing the site are given below. You can attend our Planning Committee meetings and have the opportunity to make a verbal or written representation - see below for more details
Details of Planning Applications
Immediate neighbours are generally informed by LCC in writing whenever a planning application is received, and appropriate notices are displayed near the site in question. Additionally, details are posted in the local press and are also displayed on the LCC planning website where you can also find a historical record of planning applications over the last couple of years (click here) This page also includes instructions that you can download for finding particular planning applications. It is a pdf file called “Using Public Access”

If you feel particularly strongly about a particular proposal you may make a verbal presentation to the Parish Council (maximum duration three minutes) at the next monthly meeting, or you may attend the Parish Council Planning Committee. You also have the right to address the LCC Planning Committee (maximum duration three minutes, prior notification to LCC essential).
You should remember that the planning process necessarily conforms to a strictly defined schedule, and it is essential that they comply with the deadlines that this imposes.
