The Sherborn

is appointed by the Moderator for a 2-year term. The current members

The Planning Board’s role in development
is to review and approve the subdivision of land, site plans (for businesses), certain special permits, and the removal or alteration of trees and stone
walls within the Town right-of-way along designated Scenic Roads. It is also responsible for
drafting and maintaining a master plan. The Planning Board is
governed by local, state and federal statutes regulating the development
of land. It therefore must ensure that each project meets the spirit and intent of the local Zoning By-laws (available for sale in the Selectmen’s Office and on-line at http://sherbornma.org) and the Rules and Regulations of the Sherborn Planning Board (available for sale in
the Planning Board office), as well as state and federal law, and the
town’s General Plan.
As previously mentioned, the Planning Board strongly recommends
pre-submission review for guidance on any project that you may want to
develop in Sherborn. There is no fee for this service nor is there a
limit on how many times you may appear before the Board for such
pre-submission reviews
