Development Control Committee

Introduction

Planning applications which are regarded as more complex or controversial are determined by the Development Control (DC) Committee, which meets every three weeks, usually on a Tuesday at 2.00pm in Committee Room 2 at the Town Hall.

To assist the Committee with the decision making-process, our Planning Officers prepare reports on the applications to be determined.  These reports are concerned with the planning issues and also include the Executive Head of Planning, Regeneration and Wellbeings' recommendations on the decisions that the Committee should consider.  Videos of the planning application sites and surroundings are also prepared.

The links listed at the bottom of this page, take you to the planning officers' reports for recent meetings.
