Planning Committees

The Council has a Planning Committee that comprises of all 43 Members.  This Committee deals with strategically important planning applications.  There are also two Planning Meetings that meet once every six weeks at 5pm.  These Planning Meetings comprise of elected Members who are responsible for determining planning proposals and each can determine planning applications from anywhere within the District.

Membership of these Committees has to be politically balanced, i.e. in proportion to the number of members of each political group on the full Council.  One meeting with 23 Members is called Lafford, and the other with 22 Members is called Eastgate. Follow the external weblinks below for membership details.

All meetings are open to the public who have the right to ask questions by following the Council's Public Questions Procedure (See below for related page).

Applicants or supporters of planning applications, objectors and local councils may also speak on individual planning applications (See below for related page).  For dates and venues of the Committee meetings, please click on the link below.
