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

In accordance with the
Council’s Constitution, questions from the public that are

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.
