Have your say - Planning Committee
To enable you to play an active part in the planning
process, Thanet Residents are now able to speak at meetings of the
Planning Committee on any schedule applications, which are to be
considered.
For the opportunity to speak, you must have submitted a written
representation to the Planning Department on a planning application
by the close of the consultation period applicable to that
application.
Not all planning applications go to the Planning Committee for
decision, some are decided by Planning Officers under delegated
powers. However, if an application is to be decided by Planning
Committee, the Council will write to you to invite you to book a
slot to speak. Only upon receipt of that letter may you make
contact with the Committee Clerk who will be happy to book you in
and offer you any help or advice that you may require.
One person is permitted to speak 'for' the application and one
'against' (residents of Thanet only)as well as one Parish Council
representative (where appropriate). Therefore slots are
allocated on a first come, first served basis.
For more information on speaking at Planning Committee please
see rules and procedures for public
speaking or contact us on 01843 577590 or email committee@thanet.gov.uk.
