| PLANNING |
|
All local
planning applications come before the Parish Council for scrutiny and
comment. We aim to reflect grassroots feeling to the planning
approval authority, and are happy to receive representations from
residents about any planning matter. |
|
 |
The Parish Council does not
grant final Planning Approvals. This is the responsibility of North
Kesteven District Council (NKDC) - they take council and resident comments
into account when assessing applications. |
|
HOW ARE PLANNING APPLICATIONS JUDGED? |
|
Some
of the things taken into account:
 |
Loss of
privacy |
|
Visual impact |
|
Access/traffic/parking & road safety |
|
Size & scale |
|
Character of
the area |
|
Overshadowing |
|
Noise, smells
& nuisance |
|
Planning
history |
|
Impact on
listed buildings or protected trees |
|
Some
of the things not taken into
account:
| Loss of view |
| The person who is applying |
| Effect on property values |
| Boundary disputes |
| Covenants |
| Changes from a previous scheme |
| Work started without planning permission |
| The number of people who have objected (it's the
grounds for objection which count) |
| "Better" use for the site |
|
|
The detailed grounds are
set out in the North Kesteven
Local Plan,
but for plenty of useful jargon-free information see the
Planning Services web page. |
|
DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION?
Some jobs may be 'permitted development' which can be done without
planning permission. For a project-by-project guide to the rules
click here. For a householder's interactive guide
click here. The rules mean that much permitted new and replacement paving in front
gardens may need to be water permeable - including driveways and parking areas.
For a householder's guide

Always check your
project with the NKDC planning team before going ahead.

Planning can be
complicated. The NKDC planning team are there to help and advise as well
as to receive planning applications - give them a ring or get in
touch via their
website. |
