The
Planning Committee (previously known as the Planning Applications
Sub-Committee until 21 May 2007) meets every 3-4 weeks to take
non-executive decisions on the larger, contentious planning
applications, which cannot be determined under delegated powers.
The Committee is also updated on the outcome of delegated
decisions, appeals to the Secretary of State and performance
statistics for development control, building control and planning
enforcement action. Occasionally the Committee is asked to consider
recommendations to adopt local Statutory Planning Guidance or the
Unitary Development Plan. Such
recommendations are then referred to the Executive for a final
decision.
