Submitting a Notice of Review

Review Body meeting

Who can attend

Applicants and interested parties will be written to and told when and where the Review Body is to meet.

This is a public meeting and you may observe proceedings from the public gallery. You will not be permitted to speak to the Review Body unless they decide a hearing is necessary before determining the Notice of Review.

If you are unable to attend a meeting you can watch it live or within a year of the date of the meeting through our Meeting Webcasts.

When is a decision made

This depends on whether the Review Body is satisfied that they have been provided with sufficient information to determine the Notice of Review.

If they are, the application will be dealt with there and then. If information is missing or the Review Body wishes to get clarification of matters contained in the paperwork, then the Notice of Review will be continued to a future meeting.

You will be advised in writing of when the Notice of Review will next be heard by the Review Body.

Review Body members

A minimum of 3 members must attend the meeting for the meeting to proceed. If a Notice of Review is within a members ward they will not take part in the consideration of that Notice of Review.

The independent planning adviser is a consultant and qualified planner who provides advice on planning matters to the Review Body. They do not offer a view as to whether a Notice of Review should be upheld or not.

The solicitor or clerk do and will provide legal advice as and when required by the committee and will make sure procedural formalities are followed.
