Attendance
and Written Submissions for this Committee
Arun
District Council has always encouraged public involvement in the
planning process and one of the key ways of achieving this is to
encourage public contributions at Planning Committee
meetings.
When
it has been confirmed that an application is to be heard at
committee anyone who has submitted written comments on the
application will be contacted and advised of how to register to
speak or submit a written statement. You must follow the
instructions in the notification as the committee will not be able
to hear any party who has not formally registered.
A
copy of the committee agenda, containing the officer’s report
and recommendation, are published on the website at least 5 working
days before the meeting. Those submitting a written submission are
advised to read the published report in advance. The report
includes a summary of the written representations received and a
section of comment upon these representations.
If
for any reason the application/item is no longer to be considered
by the Planning Committee the Council will endeavour to notify the
interested parties. For this reason, please always provide your
phone number when you register to speak and call us if you change
your mind about making a submission at the meeting.
It
is not possible for the Council to accept, ‘prior’ or
‘holding’ registrations, you can only register once you
have received notification of the meeting.
The
visual presentation of material at the Planning Committee will be
restricted to that information submitted as part of the application
(and/or prepared by officers in respect of any other item) in
accordance with the visual presentation procedures agreed by the
Planning Committee.
