The Planning process

  1. As statutory consultees Witney Town Council receive all planning applications, relevant to Witney, from West Oxfordshire District Council who are the Local Planning Authority (LPA) for this area.

  2. An Agenda is sent to all Witney Town Councillors informing them of the applications received and the date and time of the next Planning Committee meeting. The Agenda is also displayed on the Council’s noticeboard to inform members of the public who may view the applications at the Town Hall and attend the meeting to express their views on any application relevant to them.

  3. As the Town Council has a deadline of 21 days to forward any comments/objections to the LPA, in order for them to be included in the consideration of the application, the Planning Committee which consists of eight Councillors meet every fortnight and discuss every application received.
  4. All comments/objections are then forwarded to the LPA within the deadline.
