Planning
Applications Committee votes to make decisions on major and more
sensitive planning permission applications we receive for the
district.
Very
broadly, applications are considered by Planning Applications
Committee if:
- the
application is referred by a district councillor
- the
proposal is of large scale, or
- the proposal
conflicts with planning policy but there are other planning reasons
to support.
Otherwise, the decision is likely to be made by the
officers under delegated powers and there is no right to speak on
these matters. See how
planning applications are dealt with for more
details.
Members
of the public, agents and applicants are able to speak at committee
meetings. See our asking questions
at council meetings page for
details.
Planning
Applications Committee meets approximately every four weeks.
See meetings, agendas and
minutes for more information.
