How this list is ordered

Each application is scored on what it is: an outline application that settles whether a site is built on at all counts for far more than a porch, and dwelling numbers and uses whose effects travel, such as a solar farm or heavy vehicle movements, raise it further. That score is then weighted by how close the site is to Kentford, so proximity sets the ceiling. A large scheme in a distant parish cannot outrank the village's own business.

Tree works, extensions and condition discharges are held out of the top band whatever their score, and anything still open for public comment is raised one band because there is still time to respond. Every entry lists the reasons behind its own position so you can judge whether the council has it right.

The list is a guide to what deserves attention and carries no official standing. Always check the authority's own page, linked from every entry, for the consultation deadline and the documents. Both registers were last read on 13 October 2026 at 11.39am.
