Watch or Speak at Planning Committee
COVID 19 - Coronavirus Pandemic
Due to current restrictions and the requirement for social distancing, Council meetings will not be held at their usual location. Meetings of the Council will be taking place virtually and ‘attendance’ will be restricted to Members of the Council, relevant officers and any registered to speak ‘interested parties’ where appropriate. These meetings will not be webcast live but recorded for subsequent transmission via the Council’s public website.
Planning Committee meet once a month (usually at 4pm on a Wednesday) to consider those planning applications that have been ‘called-in’ by Local Councillors or more major development proposals not covered by the Council’s scheme of delegation.
The public are entitled to attend meetings of the Planning Committee to hear proceedings (note COVID restrictions above). Comments can be made in writing before the meeting, but there is also a provision for public speaking at the meeting.
Members of the public wishing to speak on any Planning application below are requested to register to speak via the Vale Council website by no later than 5.00 p.m. on the Sunday before the date of the meeting and have regard to the Council’s Multi-Location Meetings Policy and Public Participation at Council Meetings Guide
It is only possible to register to speak on an item that has been published on an agenda. Therefore, please check the relevant Committee agenda before registering to speak. [View Planning Agendas]
Planning Committee meetings, including the public speaking part, are usually recorded and broadcast via a live webcast link (note COVID restrictions above) and archived for future viewing on the Council’s website.
