HOW IS THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL INVOLVED IN THE PLANNING APPLICATION PROCESS?

The Council is a statutory consultee on all planning applications that are submitted to PCNPA for The Havens area (see map on home page for confirmation of Community Boundary).  The Planning Page on this website shows all extant planning applications.

The Council's will usually consider these applications during the next monthly Council Meeting but may on occasion need to hold an EGM to meet short deadlines, and/or have further meetings as required in order to consider any applications that are referred by PCNPA.

Residents of The Havens have the right to attend any of the committee meetings but cannot participate in any of the deliberations by the Council. Time is allocated for public participation at the beginning of meetings. For details of forthcoming meeting dates click on the 'Meeting schedule' tab or contact the Clerk for more details.  Summons for all meetings will be displayed on all HCC media outlets adn notice boards at least three clear days before the next meeting.  Make sure you sign up for alerts on the Home page so that you never miss an announcement!

Responses to planning applications are always made in the interests of the Community. 

The Council takes into account the general policies of the Community Council, the planning policies of PCNPA and Government guidelines when coming to a decision on whether to request that an application be support or not supported.

The Council will oppose any development that has a detrimental effect to the Community and it environment.

Individual representation to PCNPA.

Whilst engagement with the Community Council over planning applications is highly encouraged, this is not a replacement for formal objections to PCNPA.  Application details can be viewed on the PCNPA website at the following link:- Citizen Portal Planning - application details

 Any comments you may have should be made online via their  website or by post/email with the relevant Application No. within applicable deadlines. If a response is not received within this period, or an extension of time agreed with the Case Officer, it will be assumed that you have no comments to make, and the application will be determined accordingly.
