Planning Applications and Enquiries

Planning Applications

West Northants Council’s Planning Development department have issued the following notice: “We are no longer sending neighbour letters direct to neighbouring properties informing them of an application next door to them. This has been brought in to combat the need for staff to attend the offices unnecessarily. Instead neighbours of an application site will be notified by way of a site notice posted on or near to the site only. This accords with the legislation requirements for publicity of planning applications.”

Helmdon’s Planning Committee meets when there is an application to be considered. It meets in the Reading Room and the agendas are displayed beforehand. The Planning Committee does not have the power to determine a planning application, it makes comments of support or objection to West Northants Council, which is the Local Planning Authority. The Parish Council, while being available to listen to residents’ concerns for or against an application, would urge all parishioners to make their views known directly to the Planning Department of West Northants Council.
