Planning

This committee is responsible for planning consultations, appeals, licensing, street naming and monitoring the District and Neighbourhood Plans incorporating suggestions for policy updates regarding safe travel. A formal meeting will be convened as detailed in the EGTC Planning Application Policy for applications that are:

• Major developments
• New housing schemes
• Community facilities
• Demolition and replacement dwellings
• Substantial impact on street scene
• Change of use
• Applications requiring Listed Building Consent (other than repairs)
• Infill development (e.g. new dwelling)
• Any application requested by a member.

Please refer to the Planning Applications Policy for further information.

The Town Council do not make the decisions on planning applications but are a consultee and send in their recommendations to the Local Planning Authority – Mid Sussex District Council. If members of the public wish to make a comment on a planning application, please submit these directly to Mid Sussex District Council.
