At the Planning Committee Meeting on the 20th of May 2019 the following two members were elected chair and vicechair.

Cllr Russell Stanley elected Vicechaiman

The following four members:
 
Cllr Dot Cordle, Cllr Colin Keeble, Cllr Tony Roberts and Cllr Peter Ward are the four remaining members.

In most cases planning applications are the responsibility of the District Council, in our case Babergh. They inform us of any applications received by them from within the parish and they are obliged to have regard to any comments made by the Parish Council, provided they are made within a certain number of days of the notification. If the applicant is refused permission to develop, they have the right to appeal to the Secretary of State.

Babergh's website has a lot of information about Planning matters: For Planning Committee Agendas and Minutes - See http://baberghmidsuffolk.moderngov.co.uk/ieListMeetings.aspx?CId=150&Year=0

1/ Minutes of the previous meeting;
2/ A Report (by the responsible Case Officer) for each of the applications discussed at the meeting to which the agenda relates.
