A brief guide to the Planning Committee meeting About the Committee Committee Members and Officers – The Planning Committee is made up of experienced Councillors who meet in public every month to make decisions on key planning applications. Advising them are Council Officers, primarily from the Planning Department, Democratic Services and Legal Services. Other speakers – If a valid petition is received which refers the planning application to the Committee, the lead petitioner will be invited to attend a nd speak for up to 5 minutes. If the petition opposes the application, the applicant/agent may also address the meeting for up to 5 minutes also. This ensures both sides have their say. The Chairman may vary speaking times if there are multiple petitions o n the same matter. Local Ward Councillors for the area where the application is may also speak for up to 3 minutes. Broadcasting – the Planning Committee meetings are broadcast live on the Council’s YouTube channel: Hillingdon London. This means anyone speaking at the meeting will be filmed and have their statements made public and recorded. How the meeting works - an agenda, like this one, is prepared for each meeting, which comprises the officer r eports on each application with a recommendation, e.g. approval / refusal. The agenda is published on the Council’s website a week before the meeting. Matters with valid petitions will normally be taken at the beginning of the meeting. The procedure will be as follows:- 1. The Chairman will introduce the Committee and deal with administrative business at the start of the meeting. 2. The Chairman will then announce the reports on the planning application, usually in the order they are listed on this agenda. 3. The Planning Officer will introduce each report; with a presentation of plans and photographs on the large LED TV screens. 4. If there is a petition(s),the lead petitioner will speak, followed by the agent/applicant followed by any Ward Councillors; 5. The Committe e may ask questions of the petition organiser or of the agent/applicant and Ward Councillor; 6. The Committee then discuss the application and may seek clarification from officers; 7. After considering all the information and representations received, the Comm ittee will vote on the recommendation in the report, or on an alternative recommendation put forward by a Member of the Committee, which has been seconded. How the Committee makes decisions 1. The Committee must make its decisions by having regard to legislation, policies laid down by National Government, by the Greater London Authority – under ‘The London Plan’ and Hillingdon’s own planning policies. The Committee must also make its decision based on material planning considerations and case law and material presented to it at the meeting in the officer’s report and any representations received. 2. Guidance on how Members of the Committee must conduct themselves when dealing with planning matters and when making their decisions is contained in the ‘Planning Code of Conduct’, which is part of the Council’s Constitution. 3. When making their decision, the Committee cannot take into account issues which are not planning considerations such as the effect of a development upon the value of surrounding properties, no r the loss of a view (which in itself is not sufficient ground for refusal of permission), nor a subje ctive opinion relating to the design of the property. When making a decision to refuse an application, the Committee will be asked to provide detailed re asons for refusal based on material planning considerations. 4. If a decision is made to refuse an application, the applicant has the right of appeal against the decision. A Planning Inspector appointed by the Government will then consider the appeal. There is no third party right of appeal, although a third party can apply to the High Court for Judicial Review, which must be done within 3 months of the date of the decision.
