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.
