This
Committee deals with matters which need to be determined by the
County Council as the planning authority. These include waste
and minerals planning. It determines applications which the County
Council is allowed to make for the development on its own land, and
advises the Cabinet on Minerals and Waste local plans.
It also
deals with decisions in relation to public rights of way and the
registration of common land.
The
Members’ Guide to the Planning System and Planning Law, which
is available in the
document library, provides the context in which members may
take decisions at Planning Committee. It also provides guidance on
the planning system as it impacts on the County Council in general,
from the policy context to the effects of a refusal on third
parties and the applicant.
‘A Guide to the Law for the Rights of Way
Committee’, which is available in the
document library, provides a guide to members of the County
Council on the law relating to rights of way and the County
Council’s rights of way powers and duties.
