Barton Parish Council Planning Process
Barton Parish Council (BPC) are consulted by South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) on all planning applications that impact our village. Any views expressed by BPC will be taken into account by SCDC planning before a decision is made. Our Councillors look at all Barton applications, some of which may need a site visit. BPC may also call a Public Meeting to discuss any significant issues or causes for concern.
Planning applications are examined against a set criteria, and BPC can only comment on what are known as material considerations (see examples below table). These comments have to be discussed and approved at public meetings such as the regular BPC meetings. The final decision is made by the Planning Authority not the Parish Council, in our case South Cambridgeshire District Council.
If anyone wants to see copies of applications, please contact our Clerk.
