Chair: Cllr Mary Blacka
The Planning Committee reviews local planning applications for Kirklees Council and the Peak District National Park Authority, addressing resident concerns and responding to application documents. It meets frequently and has delegated authority for timely comments. The Committee also responds to local and national consultations and works towards improvements in road safety.
The Parish Council is a consultee on planning applications in the Holme Valley, but Kirklees Council and the Peak District National Park Authority is the ultimate decision-maker. The Committee emphasizes sustainability, supporting climate-conscious applications.
Meetings are held on Monday evenings at Holmfirth Civic Hall and normally start at 19.00 unless otherwise specified below.
