Development Control Committee

  The Development Control Committee deals with the exercise of the Council's powers in relation to:   ·  Planning and conservation; ·  Local Plan and Supplementary Planning Documents; ·  Highways use and regulation; ·  Common land and village greens.   There are two plans sub-committees, meeting on a monthly basis, which administer the Council's responsibilities as a local planning authority and in relation to building control matters. Some decisions on these issues are delegated to appropriate officers.   Members of the public can speak at Development Control and Plans Sub-Committees on particular planning applications – one in support and one objecting. Speakers must contact the Democratic Services Team before 10am on the working day before the meeting using the contact details shown in the agenda.  Further information on speaking at Development Control and Plans Sub-Committee meetings can be found here.   In accordance with the Council’s Constitution, questions from the public that are not specific to reports on the agenda, must have been received in writing by 5 pm, 10 working days before the date of the meeting.    Questions specifically clarifying reports on the agenda should be received within two working days of the normal publication date of the agenda.  The deadline is given on each agenda.   At special meetings, only questions relating to reports on the agenda are taken.
