Who can speak at a Planning Committee meeting?

Speaking at a planning committee meeting allows members of the public and applicants to comment directly on planning applications to the councillors who make the decisions.

You are able to speak if you:

• object to/represent a group of people who object to a planning application which is recommended for approval.
• support/represent a group of people who support a planning application which is recommended for refusal.
• have submitted a planning application that is recommended for refusal.
• have submitted a planning application that an objector is speaking to the committee against.
