Planning Applications – The Process
Planning applications are handled by West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC), but Charlbury Town Council (CTC) plays an important advisory role in the process.
Who is responsible for what?
- West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC)
- Makes the final decision on planning applications.
- Assesses applications based on local and national planning policies.
- Consults relevant bodies, including parish and town councils.
- Handles planning enforcement and appeals.
- Charlbury Town Council (CTC)
- Acts as a consultee in the planning process but does not make final decisions.
- Reviews applications at public planning meetings.
- Submits comments to WODC, considering policies, community impact, and resident feedback.
- Can support or object to applications but cannot approve or refuse them.
How to Have Your Say on a Planning Application
- Submit Comments to WODC
- Residents can comment on applications via the WODC planning portal.
- Comments should reference relevant planning policies or potential impact.
- Engage with Charlbury Town Council
- Attend CTC Planning Meetings, where residents can speak on applications.
- Email or contact town councillors before meetings to share your views.
- View meeting agendas on the Town Council website or noticeboards.
- Follow the Decision Process
- WODC will review all responses before making a decision.
- If an application is refused, the applicant may appeal, which is handled by the Planning Inspectorate.
