The local planning authority is East Cambridgeshire District Council.

The County Council has some strategic planning responsibilities, for example the Local Waste and Minerals Plan

East Cambridgeshire District Council consults Witcham Parish Council on planning applications within the Parish and adjacent applications very close to the parish boundary. Witcham Parish Council is only one of a number of consultees and East Cambridgeshire District Council may or may not take note of any comments submitted by the Parish Council.

To view all local planning applications and see the comments go to:https://www.eastcambs.gov.uk/planning/current-planning-applications  You can then enter an application number to view all the associated documents. You can also enter an address or postcode to see all the applications in the area.
