There was a Parish Council meeting to consider the PC’s formal response to the housing development application on Monday 29 July at 7pm at the Village Hall. The meeting was open to the public and there was an opportunity for residents to give their views. The deadline for comment has now passed, and the application is under consideration, with work being undertaken to address issues raised by consultees and interested parties.
Please bear in mind that although the Parish Council’s response is given some weight the final decision rests with Sedgemoor as the designated Planning Authority.
