Planning applications are no longer considered at regular Council meetings. The Planning Committee schedules meetings every two weeks in the Village Hall to ensure that their comments are made to the Planners within the appropriate deadlines; if there are no applications the meetings will not take place.

Whaddon Parish Council and the Freedom of Information Act

In November 2008, the Parish Council received a letter from the Information Commissioners' Office about a new Model Publication Scheme (re Freedom of Information) for Parish Councils. It required the PC to produce a model for how information relating to PC activities can be disseminated, charges for access to information, and so on. The template sent us was worked on by the council and formally adopted at the January 2009 Council meeting.

The following link is to a PDF file of this document, which should be consulted by all who might need to obtain information from the PC.

Information available from Whaddon Parish Council under the model publication scheme

The categories of information about which we have to provide information are:

Class 1 - Who we are and what we do
Class 2 – What we spend and how we spend it
Class 3 – What our priorities are and how we are doing
Class 4 – How we make decisions
Class 5 – Our policies and procedures
Class 6 – Lists and Registers

Not all these are applicable to Whaddon, but the document gives how and where the available information may be found--it is usually a combination of contacting the Parish Clerk and/or visiting the Village web site.

Further information about the FOI Act and the Information Commissioner's Office will be found on this web site:
