Planning applications

Shepton Montague Parish Council (SMPC) takes a keen and active interest in all local planning issues and is consulted by the Local Planning Authority, Somerset Council, over applications received from within the Parish and, occasionally, from outside the Parish (but of potential interest to our residents). This is particularly important in relation to developments, which fall within one or more adjacent parishes. 

The Parish Council takes account of any comments which it receives within the specified time limits from both individuals and organisations. Residents of the Parish are therefore encouraged to consult the published details of the submitted applications and make known to both Somerset Council and SMPC any comments they may have.

As we do not always hear about developments in neighbouring Parishes, parishioners are encouraged to contact the Parish Council and pass on any information they believe might be of wider interest to our community.

In our local area, Black Eight is a community group from Yarlington, Galhampton and North Cadbury, sharing concerns on planned property developments in the area, including those at The Newt.  For further information follow the link:  Black Eight
