Parish Council
Not sure where this goes so sorry if its in the wrong place.
If a parish councils planning meetng was on say 20th March but their official comment/objection/approval was logged on the county web site on 9th March could that be seen as wrong or a conflict of some sort?
If this is not allowed what could be done?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.But while the public can attend the meeting, they cannot speak or vote, also planning requests do not have to be discussed at the public part of the meeting and the results of any votes taken while the public are there do not have to be declared to the meeting. I am not sure what the problem is (I mean this nicely) The comments are open to public view as are the reasons for objecting to the planning request...I don't think they have to give reasons for approval.
cassa, they don't have to. Planning meeting schedules are made at the beginning of the year and put in the calendar. Stuff happens, people fall ill, way too many applications come through to be dealt with at the meeting and so on.
Do you think that if it had been discussed publicly (and it doesn't have to be) there would have been a different decision reached? Are you saying that the application was discussed at the meeting anyway even though a comment had already been logged? Did the meeting agree to approve the application and the comment was an objection?

Parish Councils have their own rules
The clerk of Beaminster Parish Council ( me old council ) told me with pride that B had voted to allow in observers at his say-so - for whenever 1995
and by that time I had already attended Manchester City Council's meeting AND addressed the councillors by invitation on a planning issue
The councils have recommendations from their clerks and are not bound and sometimes do not, follow them.
