Lymm Parish Council has a Planning Committee made up of 5 councillors and meets every three weeks. All planning applications that relate to Lymm are sent to the Parish Council and are put to the Planning Committee for comment.
Meeting agendas and planning applications being discussed are published on the Parish Council website in advance of the meeting. Everyone is welcome to attend and a Public Forum in each meeting allows for members of the public, whether for or against a development, to attend and make a representation to the Committee. All Parish Council comments are submitted to Warrington Borough Council for consideration when making their decisions.
Parish Council Planning Committee meeting agendas and minutes can be found here.
If you are developing a property or site
Planning permission is generally required for carrying out any form of ‘development’ and this includes the use of land and outbuildings as well as the more obvious construction or alteration of buildings. Consent is also required from Warrington Borough Council for works which alter, extend or would result in the demolition of – or even part of – a Listed Building or properties within a Conservation Area. The types of development you need consent for can be found HERE.
Some small-scale operations do not require planning permission. These are referred to as ‘Permitted Development’. You still need to check whether approval is needed before starting work.
Guidance, information and how to apply is available on:
- Warrington Borough Council’s website – https://www.warrington.gov.uk/building-control
- GOV UK – https://www.gov.uk/planning-permission-england-wales
