Planning Committee
The Planning Committee meets each month to deal with major planning applications and other minor planning applications that have not been decided by delegated authority.
The majority of planning applications are decided by the Strategic Director of Planning under 'delegated authority'. This is explained in our Constitution.
Approximately 15 per cent of applications are referred to and decided by the Planning Committee. The committee is open to members of the public.
