Guidance

- The Chairman will allow up to 3 speakers in favour and up to 3 speakers against an application.

The rules on public participation in respect of

There is also a stategic planning committee that deals with major developments that
could have an impact on local residents, more information can be found on the strategic
planning committee pages
Decisions
The relevant committees make decisions on those applications
that have been referred
to it. There are a numbers of reasons for referral but the most common are where a Councillor has requested
this, or where the planning officer considers that the committee needs to make the decision. The majority
of planning applications (around 95%) are decided by the planning officers under what’s known as ‘delegated
powers’. For more detailed information you can look at our Scheme of delegation 56kb
