Salisbury District Council
has 4 Area Committees - City Area,
Northern Area, Southern Area and
Western Area. The purpose of these
committees is to allow decisions to be
made that are as close to the
communities they represent as possible
and to bring together all tiers of
local government (County Councillors,
District Councillors and Parish
Councillors).
An Area Committee is made up of the District Councillors representing each ward in the respective area, any County Councillors who represent any or part ward/parish in each Area, Parish Councillors and if applicable a representative from a Tenants Panel.

Planning Matters
There is
extensive delegation of planning
decisions to officers of Salisbury
District Councils, however, there are
many safeguards in place to ensure that
those decisions better made by
Councillors are brought to Committee.
Councillors can also request an item be
brought to Committee.
When an item
is brought to an Area Committee, there
is no requirement for the Councillors
to agree with the recommendation of the
Council officers. However, sound
reasons must be given in all
circumstances.
Any approvals contrary to the local plan may need to be referred to the Planning and Regulatory Panel
