The Planning Committee reviews and comments on planning applications submitted within the parish of Great Wakering. While Rochford District Council is the planning authority and makes the final decisions, the Parish Council plays an important role as a statutory consultee, representing the views and interests of local residents.
The Committee considers a wide range of proposals — from home extensions and new housing developments to changes of use, signage, and matters affecting conservation areas or heritage sites. Its aim is to ensure that development within the parish is appropriate, sustainable, and respectful of the character of Great Wakering.
Meetings are held regularly and are open to the public. Agendas, minutes and supporting documents are published on this website. Residents are welcome to attend or submit comments for consideration when applications affect their area.
