Westfield Parish Council’s Role in Planning
Westfield Parish Council comments on planning applications on a monthly basis within the Parish of Westfield. The Parish Council reviews planning applications each month at the Full Council meeting which is held at 7pm in the Church Hall on the second Wednesday of each month. Residents are welcome to attend any public meeting of the council and there is always 15 minutes put aside at the beginning of each meeting for questions from the public including planning. The Parish Council has put together a number of pages to be transparent in the comments and decisions by the Council although these are also publish every month in the minutes which can be found here.
