Planning Advisory Committee
Assists Members with planning applications, enforcement notices and planning appeals
What we do
- Revise and update the RSGB’s official planning advice resource Planning Permission: Advice to Members (19-page/658KB PDF)
- Maintain the Planning Matters pages on the RSGB website
- Comment on Government planning policies and guidance
- Attend rallies and exhibitions to give face-to-face advice to Members
- Coordinate the work of Planning Panel members
So far as it can, given a limited number of Committee members, the Committee wishes to be represented at major rallies and exhibitions so as to be able to provide face-to-face advice to Members.
Although most activity relates to planning applications, some cases need to go to appeal.
Inspectors decide appeals on planning merits but appeal decisions offer a useful insight into what criteria are considered important by the Inspectorate.
When received, such decisions can be made available for Members’ use.
