The Planning Committee meet regularly throughout the year to deal with frequent planning applications (40 applications in 2006).
The Parish Council is classed as a statutory consultee on every planning application directly affecting the Parish. Sevenoaks District Council sets a legal deadline of 21 days for all consultees to submit their responses.
We are also frequently invited, (as a matter of courtesy), to comment on planning applications which are the responsibility of neighbouring parishes, where there will also be an impact on our area. A typical example of this is any planning application which relates to Polhill Garden Centre, which actually lies within Shoreham Parish.
