Area planning committees

Area planning committees are responsible for considering non-strategic planning applications where one of the following applies:

• the proposal would not accord with the Council’s approved planning policies and the Chief Officer’s recommendation is to grant permission
• there are eight or more objections to the application and the Chief Officer's recommendation is to grant permission
• a councillor whose ward the application site is in requests that the application be determined by a committee.
