The committee is made up of 20 councillors, one from all the wards in the borough. The remaining applications are determined by the Head of Planning and Building Control, under delegated powers.

Can I attend the committee and can I speak on an item on the agenda?

You are welcome to attend this committee and listen to the debate, or you can book yourself in to speak directly to the councillors who make the decisions on planning applications. Please take a look at the planning committee public speaking procedure.

If you decide to attend the planning committee, copies of the agenda will be provided. In this there are reports of the planning applications that are to be decided at that meeting.

Not all of the reports are discussed in detail. Only those applications that have public speakers and where members of the committee need clarification of the issues raised in the report are usually discussed before a decision is made.

Sometimes decisions on applications are deferred so that further information can be obtained.

What type of planning application will be determined by the committee?

Not all planning applications are determined by the committee. The scheme of delegations explains what types of applications are determined by the committee.
