The Site Viewing Working Party
is a working party of Councillors appointed by the Council’s
Development Management Committee to view sites, which are the
subject of matters to be considered by the Development Management
Committee. The Working Party is accompanied by relevant Officers
from the Development Control Team and Technical Services and
Democratic Services. As it is a Working Party there is no
requirement for the site inspection to be open to the
public.
The main purpose is for
Councillors to familiarise themselves with a site’s
characteristics before making a recommendation on a planning
application or other matter scheduled to be considered at a future
meeting of the Development Management Committee, where it is
considered necessary to do so.
