Committee details

Covid-19 and meetings

Some meetings may still go ahead to complete very limited priority business as set out on the agenda, with non-urgent items deferred to a later date.  However, most meetings are currently postponed for the next couple of weeks.  The situation changes very quickly - please check the website regularly.

The public has a right of access to meetings, but we strongly discourage you from attending during the current Covid-19 pandemic.  Meetings which do go ahead will be recorded as usual, so please listen to the recordings.  If you want to ask a question or speak, please use this alternative - email your full name, the agenda item and your question to Committee@middevon.gov.uk by 10 am on the day of the meeting - we will circulate it to the councillors and arrange for it to be read out at the meeting.  Please keep it as brief as possible, remembering the time limit of 3 minutes. The answer may be given at the meeting or emailed to you.

The Planning Committee exercises functions on behalf of the Council relating to:

Planning and Conservation functions relating to town and country planning

development control and all matters concerning trees; and

To confirm and consider changes to the existing Scheme of Delegation to the Head of Planning.

Public Question Time is available at the beginning of the meeting for those present to ask questions about any item on the agenda, or to speak briefly by way of background or introduction to those questions, including planning applications.
