Planning Applications

Planning Applications are discussed at Parish Council Meetings on the first Wednesday of every month. Meetings are held in the Audit Hall from 7pm.

Empingham Parish Council

For residents, you must be aware of the Conservation Area as this imposes further restrictions should your property be located within it. There are also a large number of trees with TPOs (Tree Preservation Orders) and you should check with Rutland County Council before you carry out any work on a tree within the parish.
