Dear Councillor Clissett,
Thank you for presenting your petition at the Full Council meeting regarding the proposed development by Bloor Homes on Coulter Lane and Church Road, Burntwood.
Upon review, please note that planning applications for housing developments fall under the jurisdiction of the District Council in its capacity as the Local Planning Authority. As such, we would advise that the petition be directed to Lichfield District Council for their consideration.
As the Local Highway Authority, Staffordshire County Council’s role in relation to any application from the developer would be to respond to LDC as a consultee, and in doing so we might not propose any objections to an application subject to certain conditions/highway mitigation measures being imposed on the development, but ultimately, it would be for Lichfield District Council to decide whether they accept any suggested conditions proposed by the Highway Authority.
You may find further information on Lichfield District Council’s petition process, including guidance on planning-related petitions, via the following link: Petition the council – Planning petitions This web page discusses specifically petitions about planning applications which will be helpful.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind Regards,
Member & Democratic Services
