All planning applications are made, and can be viewed, at the NELC Planning Portal.
Laceby Village Council are consulted on planning applications made for the Village of Laceby.
Should you wish to discuss a planning application that may directly affect you or your property, you can attend the Village Council meeting on which the planning application is on the agenda and come and discuss with us. We will consider all points regarding the application, however, we can only provide our opinion within the planning guidelines and do not have any authority over whether a plan is approved or declined.
For more information regarding Planning Applications for Laceby, please go to the NELC website and search for the relevant application number or using a postcode or street name.
How to Submit Comments on Planning Applications
You can submit comments to NELC by:
- submitting online via the planning portal
- emailing
- sending a letter to Development Management Services – Municipal Offices, Town Hall Square, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, DN31 1HU
The statutory time given to neighbours to comment on an application is 21 days. Due to the volume we receive, it is not possible to respond or acknowledge you comments or questions.
Only material planning considerations can be taken into account. The planning portal has further information on what constitutes a material planning consideration. When commenting on an application you should be aware that the following areas are not considerations:
- Nobody has a right to a view from their property. The local planning authority cannot control the effects of new development on the outlook from existing property except in the general case of residential amenity.
- Impact on the valuation of property
- The cost of a development is not a material consideration, and the local planning authority has no jurisdiction to protect developers from expensive projects. Loss of trade or increased competition
- A personal interest or a civil dispute
- Generally speaking, personal circumstances are not a material planning consideration
How will your comments be used?
All comments will be published and may be included in committee reports or read at public meetings. However, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), signatures, telephone numbers and email addresses attached to representations will not be shown on the Council’s website but your name and address will be displayed. Anonymous comments will not be taken into account.
Objections and statements of third parties are published as received, and the content is the responsibility of the objector. The Council does not edit the responses to ensure openness and transparency in the planning process, and that all can see the unedited views of those that wish to comment. As a result those posting are asked to show due deference to others involved and restrict comments to material planning considerations.
Laceby Village Council are currently working to reinstate the boundary at St Margaret's Church. The plans for this are available on NELC Website
