In the Ordinary meeting held on 15th January 2024, the Parish Council resolved to create a new Planning Committee with delegated powers to make decisions on behalf of the Council in order to respond to all planning applications referred to the Council by Warwick District Council.
The Planning Committee meetings will be held in the Village Hall on Red Lane and members of the public and press are welcome to attend. Each meeting will have a public participation session although issues raised by the Public during this session will be limited to those items listed on the meeting agenda. There is no fixed schedule of meetings, they will be held when necessary to meet the deadline for submission of comments set by Warwick District Council. The agenda for the meetings will be posted on the Council's website and noticeboards at least 3 working days before the meeting and draft meeting minutes be published to the Council's website and noticeboard afterwards. The Full Council will receive an update from the Planning Committee Chairman at each Ordinary meeting. The UK’s telephone network is changing.

This will enable their customers to find out more about the switchover to their digital phone network known as Digital Voice. There will be the following drop in sessions:
