Who to email or write to: Policies & Planning

This is not political, it's reality:

There are 3 key levels for planning strategy/approval

1. GOVERNMENT: Sets targets and overall policy
2. LOCAL AUTHORITY (North Lincs Council): Aligns with Government policy & local issues
3. Town Council (Barton upon Humber): Can comment, but has limited powers

That's basic the basic pecking order. The Local Authority will normally decide on a planning application
If there are problems and appeals, it may even go to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities & Local Government for a decision

• (Google "Jenrick appeals" - interesting!)

Ultimately, the Government has both the initial overall say and (if necessary) the final say
The Local Authority and Town Council are cogs in the wheel

IT'S VITAL THAT ALL THE PLAYERS KNOW YOUR VIEWS, Email:

(1) YOUR MP & (2) THE HEAD OF NORTH LINCS COUNCIL  and copy in
(3) YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL
