The Parish Council plays an active part in all local planning issues. The Parish Council is a consultee and any comments must relate to planning issues, rules and policies. Planning permission is usually granted if the application complies with policies of central and local government. Typically, reasons for objection would be the site’s planning history, the size of the development, the development envelope of the settlement, infrastructure and accessibility including rights of way.
It is probably the area of the Council’s role that is best known to the community and which can be of the most importance.
To view the planning applications that the Parish Council will comment on please see the agendas of the future council meetings.
To view the decisions of the Parish Council please see the minutes section of the council meetings. Please be aware that the minutes will not be posted online until they have been agreed by the committee at the following meeting.
All planning applications for Ightham can be viewed on the Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council web site on their Planning Portal. Search applications and enter Ightham in the Location field to show the applications.
