Planning Information
Planning meetings take place immediately prior to the full council meeting at the notified time, which is dependant on the number of applications to be considered.
Any that need to be considered at another time will be announced on the website.

As of the 2026/27 financial year the following information will be requested from the councillors and be recorded as below when using delegated powers.
