Public
speaking at Planning Committee meetings
Public speaking in support or objection to planning applications
is permitted at meetings of our Planning
Committee. Information on how to register to speak at a meeting is
included on the agenda available online.
There are three categories of speakers for each application: one
objector, one supporter and the applicant or agent. Each
will be given a maximum of three minutes
in which to express their views.
After all the speakers have finished speaking for an item, the
chairman will open the item to the
committee for debate. At the end of the debate the committee will vote on the
proposal.
