Committee Meetings and Reports

The Planning Committee comprises of 19 Councillors and deals with applications for planning permission for Council developments and most mineral and waste facilities.

The Committee meets every month, other than August, at the Civic Offices, Barry and meetings usually commence at 6.00pm. You may attend Committee meetings to hear proceedings only and comments must be made in writing or you may speak directly to a councillor. People who attend Committee meetings are not allowed to speak out but representation can, however, be made directly to any councillor.

All reports on planning applications are available for inspection by the public. The Committee reports are made available four working days before the date of the meeting.

A supplementary update sheet is prepared for committee addressing any consultee responses and further representations received after the report was written.

Commenting on planning applications which are to be reported to Committee.

When comments are submitted in relation to planning applications which are being reported to Planning Committee, outside of the statutory consultation period of 21 days, it should be noted that, those comments may be received too late to be included within the formal committee report. This is as a consequence of reports usually being prepared some two weeks before the holding of the actual Planning Committee Meeting.

In order to ensure that members of the public and other organisations/bodies with an interest in a particular application are not disadvantaged the Authority will accept and report observations received up until 12 p.m. on the day before Committee. These comments are circulated in the form of a late report to Committee members on the evening before Committee by Email and are presented in hard copy form at the actual meeting.

It should be noted that a copy of the full Committee Report relating to the specific case (for example, a particular planning application or enforcement report) will be available here as part of the Committee agenda four working days before the meeting itself. You can also contact the Councils Committee Services Group in order to request a hard copy of the report (although there will be charge for this document).

Please Note: This supersedes the previous arrangements when late observations and representations could be submitted up until 12 p.m. on the day of Planning Committee.
