Hessett Parish Council is a statutory consultee for local planning applications.
This means that Mid Suffolk District Council (the Local Planning Authority) sends details of planning applications made within the parish to the Parish Council and invites the Council to submit its comments objecting or supporting the applications. Some types of planning application (mainly agricultural) do not require the Parish Council to be consulted.
Ultimately, planning permissions are granted or refused by Mid Suffolk District Council, not the Parish Council - any individual or organisation can object to or support applications.
