Planning Committees and Applications
The Planning Committee of Downend & Bromley Heath Parish Council meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Details of dates can be found on this website.
The list of dates is also published on our Parish Council notice boards.
Our meetings are held at Lincombe Barn and are open to members of the public.
The Parish Council is keen that members of the public come to the Planning Meeting to voice any concerns they have that a potential development may affect them.
When South Gloucestershire Council receive an application for planning permission, this is usually copied to the Parish Council for comment. These comments, along with those of other consultees, are then taken into account when the final decision on the application is made.
In October 2008, there were some changes to the planning laws and it is now possible to carry out some minor alterations to your home that do not require planning permission.
For further information on the planning process, visit www.southglos.gov.uk/planning, in particular the section "Do you need planning permission?" where there is plenty of useful information and guidance.
Other useful websites with information on the planning process are www.planninghelp.org.uk and www.planningportal.gov.uk.
