Make application that complies with planning
policies within local plan and that it is supported by the
planning officer and include design statement and plans.
Provide required surveys relating to highways,
trees etc. and obtain support from the relevant council, departments
i.e, Highways Officer. Agree any contributions to the council,
for example contributions towards public transport and affordable
housing.
With planning officer's support, the case
goes before the planning committee who will consider the case
and all objections from neighbours etc. The applicant may also
speak for a short time to the committee, as may objectors.
If the committee is happy with the application,
then it will be approved, sometimes subject to minor points
being clarified later.
Alternatively, the committee will reject the
application and the applicant will take it to an appeal in
the hope that the refusal will be overturned.
