Development Control - Committee Meetings
It is sometimes necessary for planning applications to go before the Development Control Committee for a decision. This could be because any of the following apply to the application:
- The application is considered to be a departure from the Development Plan.
- A minimum of two District Councillors (including one Ward Member where the application is sited) have requested the application be considered by the Development Control Committee.
- Any application where the intended decision is to approve and where there are five or more letters of objection (excluding members of the same household)
The authorised Planning Officer considered the decision should be taken by the Development Control Committee.
