Responsibilities
The Parish Council has a statutory right to be notified of every planning application submitted relating to the parish, and to make representations to the Planning Authority (Guildford Borough Council). The Parish Council delegates the consideration of planning applications to its Planning & Environment Committee (which also monitors local environmental threats and problems). Members of the public are invited to attend the Committee’s meetings and make representations.
Planning Meetings take place on Mondays (unless otherwise stated below) at 7.30pm in the Parish Office Meeting Room, East Horsley Village Hall.
The Agenda and the Minutes will be placed on the PC Noticeboards at Bishopsmead, Effingham Junction, and Station Parade as well as the website.
