Planning

 

West Suffolk District Council notifies Kedington Parish Council of planning applications that it accepts, and that are related to land in the Parish. Once notified of an application the Parish Council then has 21 days to make a representation. If an ordinary meeting of the Parish Council falls within the 21 day period and the application can be included on the next agenda then the matter will be considered at that meeting.

If the 21 day period concludes before the next meeting or the matter was not included on an agenda (received too late for inclusion) then an extraordinary meeting may be called to consider a response. Members of the Public are welcome to attend these meetings and they will be invited to contribute.

The Parish Council’s response to these applications will be based on PLANNING POLICY only. When a decision is made on an application, only certain issues are taken into account; these are often referred to as 'material planning consideration.

If you wish to comment on an application you must send your comments to the Local Planning Authority (West Suffolk) before the published consultation expiry date.

The responsibility for the discharge of this function in the majority of cases rests with West Suffolk District Council.

If you are unable to attend the meeting but would like to advise the council of any concerns you may have, please email the clerk

Under West Suffolk Local Planning Policy, Kedington is classed as Key Service Centre - Details can be found on the Vision 2031 document currently under review.
