Purpose of Committee
Planning Committee is
responsible for deciding applications for planning permission,
listed building consent, conservation area consent, tree
preservation and planting and strategic highway and transportation
issues.
You can also view and make
comments on current
planning applications and find out more information about
submitting an application.
Planning Committee meets every
month and comprises 14 Councillors. Meetings commence at
9:30am with a break at 1:00pm or earlier, at the discretion of the
Chairman. Should there be any further business, the Committee
will reconvene at 2:00pm or earlier as advised by the
Chairman. Public seating in the Council Chamber is limited
and will be allocated on a first come, first served
basis.
Public Speaking at Planning Committee
The Council allows the
opportunity for the public to address the Planning Committee in
cases where a petition of objection or support has been submitted
in respect of a current application AND it relates to an
application where the final decision is to be taken by the Planning
Committee, rather than where the application is decided under
delegated authority (by officers).
Petitions must contain a
minimum of 10 signatories. Only the Head Petitioner(s) or a
nominated representative for the petitioners as well as the
applicant’s agent (or the applicant where no agent is
employed) will be invited, by letter/email, to speak to the
Planning Committee normally about one week before the
meeting. Each person making representations may speak for up
to five minutes and may be asked questions by members of the
Planning Committee. Members of the public are not allowed to
address Planning Committee members at the meeting, unless they have
followed the Public
Speaking procedure.
