Committee

The Development Control Committee deals with the exercise of the Council's powers in relation to:

·  planning and conservation;

·  the Local Development Plan - where it recommends the Plan to the Executive;

·  highways use and regulation;

·  common land and village greens.

There are four plans sub-committees, meeting on a fortnightly basis, which administer the Council's responsibilities as a local planning authority and in relation to building control matters. Some decisions on these issues are delegated to appropriate officers.

Members of the public can speak at Development Control and Plans Sub-Committees on particular applications – one in support and one objecting. Speakers must contact the Democratic Services Team on 020 8461 7840 or committeeservices@bromley.gov.uk before 10am on the working day before the meeting.

Further details are available in Planning Division Information Sheet 1.4.

In accordance with the Council’s Constitution, questions from the public that are not specific to reports on the agenda, must have been received in writing by 5 pm, 10 working days before the date of the meeting.  The deadlines are therefore expected to be:-

Meeting on 10 January 2023 – Questions by 22 December 2022

Meeting on 2 March 2023 – Questions by 18 February 2023

Meeting on 18 April 2023 – Questions by 31 March 2023

Questions specifically clarifying reports on the agenda should be received within two working days of the normal publication date of the agenda.  The deadline is given on each agenda.

At special meetings, only questions relating to reports on the agenda are taken.
