MEMBERS of Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council have agreed to a trial run of “paperless” planning consultation.
The borough council claims it can save between £7,000 and £15,000 if it sends out lists of planning applications to parish councils by email.
Currently they send out some 1,200 planning documents, each at least 10 pages long, to parish councils.
Borough planners want parish councils to accept emails or use the borough council website.
Some parishes have expressed disquiet as they do not believe it will make examining applications more cumbersome.
But Cllr Keith Bland said: “We decided we would give it a run and see how it goes.”
