In order to keep members of the public informed about the planning applications that Essex County Council are dealing with, a summary of all current valid applications is available on the website. Paper copies can be provided upon request.
Summaries of applications for planning permission are listed by district and updated weekly. Summaries are provided for all recent minerals and waste applications and for major council applications. Some minor council applications, where the details of the planning application are covered simply by the application description itself, will not have a separate summary.
Summaries are listed by district:
Once a summary of application has been published, the planning team will contact all bodies they are required to consult, in order to identify any concerns they may have regarding the planning application. Details of these consulting bodies are contained within the Statement of Community Involvement.
It is at this stage that responses from members of the public should be made. Where applications are amended, or further information is required, the application may be re-submitted.
Once consultation is complete, a decision whether the application is granted or refused is made.
For further information on a specific application, contact the case officer named on the summary. Alternatively, you can contact the duty officer on 01245 435555 or email mineralsandwasteDC@essex.gov.uk
