PARISH COUNCIL ACTIVITIES
As the first tier of government, the Parish Council has a wide range of duties & activities. For example, it sees and comments on all local planning applications submitted to the Malvern Hills District Council, although its views are advisory only - the District Council has no statutory obligation to heed them. A Planning Committee is responsible for overseeing these activities.
