Consultation

We will consider all comments received for an application and may contact applicants suggesting amendments.

Where applicants make significant changes to their applications, we may provide people who have commented a further 14 to 21 days to make additional observations.

Decision making and planning committee

Most applications are determined by officers under delegated powers.

Where it is necessary to report an application to a planning committee for a decision to be made by Councillors, all comments received will be made available for public review at least 5 days before the planning committee meeting.

People who comment will be told the time and location of the committee meeting. All comments will be summarised in the committee report. You can also register to speak at planning committee.

Decisions

Everyone who wrote to us about an application will be informed of the decision. Where we receive a petition about a planning application, we will notify the petition organiser of the decision.
