Cabinet

The Cabinet is chaired by the Leader of the council and is responsible for taking most of the day to day decisions of the Council. You can attend Cabinet meetings and request questions to be asked, you must give notice of your question in writing. The members of the Cabinet are called portfolio holders and each has responsibility for certain areas of activity.

Planning committee

The planning committee is made up of elected councillors who have powers to make decisions on planning applications. The committee meets twice a month, one meeting of which is to consider planning applications which are large or complex, controversial or have had objections made against them.

You can attend meetings of the planning committee but please be aware of the protocol for dealing with planning matters.
