You can find out more about committee by going to their page. To view upcoming meetings of the planning committee just go to their meetings page. The Parish Council are a legal consultee and will review all planning applications in Old Marston either at the full council meeting or will call an ad hoc meeting of the Planning Committee if consultation deadline is before the next main meeting.
