Planning Committee Papers

Planning Committee

The Planning Committee  manages the planning budget. This committee deals with planning matters; the Parish (or Town) Plan; traffic management; street names and town signs and emergency planning. 

Previously, the Planning Committee was known as ED&P, however at the annual meeting held on 24 June 2021 it was agreed that the Economic Development of the committee would have its own committee known as Economy and Tourism.

  1. The Planning Committee has the delegated function to ‘examine and comment upon’ planning applications. It scrutinises the local planning applications which go before Herefordshire Council for final decision making. We provide a local view which Herefordshire Council (HC) will take notice of when it can, although our recommendations are purely advisory. HC is the designated Planning Authority and is responsible for the final decisions.

The Planning Committee is also consulted on car parking charges by Herefordshire Council, the recommendations are purely advisory.
