Planning

West Oxfordshire District Council is the planning authority, while the Parish Council considers applications affecting Minster Lovell as a consultee. WODC’s current planning service lets residents view and comment on applications, check whether permission is required, apply for permission and report suspected breaches.

Planning

Planning applications in Minster Lovell are determined by West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC), which is the local planning authority.

Minster Lovell Parish Council is consulted on planning applications within the parish and may submit comments to WODC. The Parish Council does not make the final decision on whether planning permission is granted or refused.

View and Comment on a Planning Application

You can view current and previous planning applications, plans and supporting documents through West Oxfordshire District Council’s online planning system.

Residents can also submit their own comments directly to WODC during the consultation period.
