Mission

The Planning Board reviews applications for approvals under the Zoning Bylaw and Subdivision Regulations. This includes Site Plan Review and/or Special Permits for commercial developments, Subdivision Approvals, and endorsement of ANR Plans (plans depicting new lot lines on existing streets). The Planning Board is also responsible for long-range land use planning for Town of Leicester, including implementation of the Leicester Master Plan.

Planning Board members and staff are committed to serving the needs of the public. To accommodate those who can't visit during regular office hours, most Planning Board information is available by phone, mail, or email. Regular members of the Planning Board are elected to 3 year terms.  The Associate member is appointed annually by the Planning Board.
