Planning

Bickleigh Parish Council is consulted on all planning applications in the Parish (loosely Woolwell, Roborough and Bickleigh). We’re also consulted on applications that border our area. This may be Plymouth City Council or the Dartmoor National Park.

These applications are considered at our Council meetings and recommendations are made to the relevant Planning Authority. This may be South Hams District Council, Plymouth City Council, Devon County Council or the Dartmoor National Park. We provide input based on our local knowledge and experience. Final decisions are made by the relevant Planning Authority based on everyone’s input.

Most of the applications we see are from South Hams District Council. You can see copies of our recommendations, with all of the other paperwork associated with the application, by following this link to the South Hams website. (This link will take you away from the Bickleigh Parish Council website, we cannot be held responsible for the reliability of third party websites.)
