Planning
Hempton Roundabout - Planning Application
Parish councils have the right to make comments on planning applications affecting their area.
The planning authority (normally NNDC, although occasionally it can be the County Council) allows a parish council 21 days to respond to a planning application. The application will be considered by the parish council at the next council meeting and will feature on the agenda as an item to be discussed. Members of the public are welcome to attend meetings and may speak during the public participation item on the agenda to give their views on a planning application. They are also encouraged to provide their own comments on NNDC's Planning pages.
If there is not a meeting within the 21 days, the parish council is usually able to extend the time-limit. Whilst the overall decision is the planning authority’s, the parish council’s local knowledge, combined with an understanding of the planning process, means that its views are more likely to be heard by the planning authority, so long as the parish council provides valid planning ‘material considerations’.
The parish council’s comments can be found on NNDC’s planning pages.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Clerk.
Speedwatch
We do not currently have a Speed Watch team. If you are interested and are able to volunteer your time to start up a new team. Please get in touch with the Parish Clerk. Many thanks.
Outdoor Play Area
The original play equipment was installed in 1953. Additional equipment was added in 2016 and the original swings were refurbished at the same time.
Whether it's enjoying a picnic, playing with the children or taking in the views and fresh air! We encourage everyone to enjoy the area.
