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
