The Parish Council is a statutory consultee on planning applications and is normally given 21 days to comment by the Planning Authority of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.
There is no obligation on the part of the Parish Council to attend an applicant’s property when considering an application.
Residents are welcome to attend the Parish Council meetings where applications will be considered. Anyone wishing to comment on a Planning Application will be given an opportunity to speak at the appropriate time during the meeting. If possible, it is helpful to let the Clerk know of your intention to attend either by phone 07502992314 or by email - clerk@ellisfield.gov.uk. If this is not possible and you would still like to make the Parish Council aware of any specific issues with a particular application, then comments can be submitted to the Clerk prior to the meeting for consideration at the meeting. Any comments received after the application has been discussed cannot be taken into account.
Please note that any correspondence received by the Clerk, unless stipulated private and confidential, will be disseminated to all serving Parish Councillors and the contents, including the author's name, may be discussed openly in a public meeting.
