Planning Applications Within Langham
The Parish Council receives, from Rutland County Council, all planning applications for Langham. The Parish Council cannot approve or refuse any application but can comment, and provide advice and opinion in line with the Neighbourhood Plan and recommend whether it should be approved or refused. Ultimately it is the Planning Team at RCC who makes the decision.
You can find out which planning applications have been seen by Langham Parish Council by referring to the latest Langham Parish Council Minutes – here you can find the number of the application, an outline of what work is proposed, and whether LPC has recommended approval or refusal.
If you wish to learn more about a particular planning application - for example details of the application, the wording of LPC’s response or the final decision of RCC- go to RCC’s website : https://www.rutland.gov.uk/my-services/planning-and-building-control/planning then go to 'view planning applications and decisions'. Go to Search for Planning Application and enter the application number as noted in LPC minutes (NB. Omit the year, so for application 2021/1234/ABC only enter 1234/ABC)
Dying Matters in Rutland
Dr Sarah Furness, Lord-Lieutenant of Rutland, has initiated the project 'Dying Matters in Rutland' that aims to give Rutlanders a single source of information about the many forms of help available to them when they have to plan for their own deaths, or cope with the dying and deaths of loved ones. Dr Furness considers that the pandemic has alerted everyone to their mortality, and talking about and planning for our end of life could make life better for us and for our loved ones left behind. Although there are still superstitions about talking about it, 'Dying Matters in Rutland' has tried to pull together all the information one might need in one place. The initiative is supported by the local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). All details about the help available can be found on the website https://www.dyingmattersinrutland.org The website also gives details of a Virtual Bereavement Help Point where people can access information and support, and this is backed by trained volunteers
