Parish Council's have no direct powers in respect of planning control.  This is the role of Stafford Borough Council.

However, Parish Council's are notified in writing of every planning application within their area and are invited to comment on the proposals.

The Parish Council's Planning Committee meets on the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month as necessary, at 7.30 pm in the Village Hall.  Members of the public are invited to attend although not to participate.  The agenda for the Planning Committee can be found below by clicking on the relevant meeting date.
