In order to protect the environment and ensure that our personal or business plans do not interfere with wider plans, our neighbours rights or existing restrictions, most plans to construct or alter property, buildings or other standing features are subject to the granting of planning permission by the relevant government planning authority. For Bransgore Parish, the authorities are the New Forest District Council or the National Park Authority. The Parish Council are consulted on all applications.
If you are interested in a particular application take note of the reference number which will help you to find it again and will form a good point of reference if you wish to talk to the council about it.
Applications to fell or modify trees in the District also normally requires planning consent, which is dealt with by either NFDC of the National Park Authority.
