Parish Councils have few responsibilities (allotments is the main one) and nothing to do with Planning Permission or developments
Local councils DO "listen" to Parish Councils on planning applications..........so when the local council turns down your planning application, they can site the Parish council objection too as additional justification! But in reality Asturias56, you're quite right, Parish councils have absolutely no leverage in my experience. I've experienced both sides of that coin.
