The committee is made up of 7 elected councillors and determines certain major planning applications in the borough and certain matters relating to High Speed 2 (HS2).
The committee also considers applications where there is a valid petition and the planning officer's recommendation does not accord with the petition's desired outcome.
Other planning applications are determined by planning officers.
The planning committee meets in public, and meetings are broadcast live on our YouTube channel.
If you’re concerned about a planning application, you can submit a petition.
