The Planning Committee meets on the 1st Monday of each month (unless it’s a Bank Holiday-see the meetings schedule) at 7pm, in The Market House, when there are planning applications and issues to consider.  If Somerset Council requires an early response to a planning application, an Extraordinary meeting will be held.

The Planning Agenda, listing the planning applications to be considered, is published three clear days (excluding Sundays) before the date of the meeting.

Draft Minutes will be posted on the website within 10 working days and will be replaced with approved Minutes after they have been agreed as a correct record at the following Planning meeting. 

Members of the public are welcome to attend planning meetings and may speak for up to 3 minutes supporting or objecting to applications. Only parts of meetings (in camera) where confidential or other restricted information is being discussed are not open to the public or press.

Please note that Castle Cary Town Council does not make the decisions on Planning applications, this is done by Planning Officers at Somerset Council. Your Planning Committee works hard to gather the views of the residents of Castle Cary and, working with Ansford Parish Council, the views of Ansford residents where appropriate, in composing the observations that are sent to Somerset Council.
