Planning Committee

Members of the public are welcome to attend Planning Committee meetings or alternatively can submit comments by email to clerk@brockenhurst.gov.uk by 12 noon on the Monday before the meeting, making it clear which application they are commenting on.  Where email is not available to parishioners comments can be called into the Parish Council Office on 01590 622829.  Receipt of all comments will be acknowledged.

When submitting comments, please ensure that they are copied to the NFNPA (planning@newforestnpa.gov.uk) as they are the Statutory Planning Authority and the ultimate decision to grant or refuse permission rests solely with them.  

Thank you for your co-operation and understanding.
