    Enterprise Resources Planning and Building Standards Weekly List of Planning Applications List of planning applications registered by the Council for the week ending From : - 18/01/2016 To : 22/01/2016 The Planning Weekly List contains details of planning applications and proposals of application notices registered in the previous week . Note to Members: Proposal of application notices A ‘proposal of application notice’ is a notice that must be submitted to the Council, by the developer, at least 12 weeks before they submit an application for a major development. The notice explains what the proposal is and sets out what pre-application consultation they will carry out with the local community. Please note that at this stage, any comments which the public wish to make on such a notice should be made directly to the applicant or agent, not to the Council. If, however, any of the proposals described on the list as being a proposal of application notice raise key issues that you may wish to be considered during their future assessment, please contact the appropriate team leader/area manager within 10 days of the week-ending date at the appropriate area office . Planning applications If you have any queries on any of the applications contained in the list, please contact the appropriate team leader/area manager within 10 days of the week-ending date at the appropriate office. Applications identified as 'Delegated' shall be dealt with under these powers unless more than 5 objections are received. In such cases the application will be referred to an appropriate committee. In addition, a request to refer an application to committee should be directed to the area manager/team leader within 10 days of the week-ending date at the appropriate area office .
