Planning Committee

The Planning Committee meets every four weeks to consider the Schedule of Applications and other Reports.


Forthcoming Meetings

24th April 2024 - Civic Centre, Carlisle


Under Section 70(2) of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, all planning applications have to be determined in accordance with the Development Plan (the Development Plan for Carlisle is the Carlisle District Local Plan 2015-2030 and other policies) unless material considerations indicate otherwise.

An Officer Report to assist the Committee in determining the application accompanies all the applications that are considered by the Planning Committee. The Report identifies the relevant development plan policies, supplementary planning documents, other planning policy guidance issued by the Government, describes the proposal and planning history of the site, summarises consultations, objections and representations and makes a recommendation based on planning policy and other material planning conditions.

The Planning Committee may approve, refuse or defer consideration of the application for further information or a site visit.

If you would like to view electronic versions of Committee Reports including officer's reports, they are available by following the  link 'Planning Committee Schedule Reports and Minutes' on this page. The Planning Schedule and Agenda will be available by midday 8 days before the meeting. The Planning Minutes and Decision Schedule will be available after the meeting.

  FAQ - Planning Committee

Special provisions relating to tree preservation orders

Proposals for the making of tree preservation orders (TPOs) often attract local interest in the particular area where the Order is being considered. The Council’s Constitution delegates the making of TPOs to the Corporate Director Economic Development and Corporate Director Governance unless there are objections, in which case it must be referred to the Development Control Committee for confirmation. Where this arises, the Council allows members of the public, who wish to speak in opposition to a TPO being made and also anyone in favour of the Order, to be given the opportunity to speak at the Committee.

Only TPOs with objections are referred to Committee. Supporters of the TPO do have the right to speak at the Committee. Arrangements for giving notice of wish to speak on a proposed TPO are set out under “How do I register my interest in speaking?”

Information about dates of and papers for meetings of the Development Control Committee are available on this website.
