Planning

Parish Council Planning meetings are held as and when required, and notified in advance via the Parish Council noticeboards and website.

As a Statutory Consultee, it is the responsibility of the Parish Council to review and comment on planning applications submitted to West Northants Council (WNC), where the proposed development will take place in, or may affect, Byfield.

In reviewing such applications the Parish Council's purpose is to ensure that local knowledge of facts and the opinions of local people, especially neighbours of the proposed development, are conveyed to the planning authority.

The Parish Council may also comment on matters of local concern including infrastructure.
