The council is also the first point of contact for aspiring local projects. It is their responsibility to help get schemes underway by providing initial funding and space for public use, for example for the local scout troop or a one-off jumble sale

This is usually communicated to the parish council by TVBC Planning, however, residents wishing to submit a planning application to TVBC may wish to present their plans to the Parish Council beforehand to gauge opinion and to explain the development intended.
