Planning Services – Development Management
APPLICATIONS UPDATE
August 2014
Introduction
The Development Management Service of DCC is committed to delivering high levels of
transparency in the statutory planning system.
This document aims to assist in the meeting of this aspiration by providing a summary of the
major application case work presently being considered by the Service.
The purpose of the document is to allow a County wide picture of proposed development
activity relating to major or controversial development proposals. The document provides
key contact details, together with target committee date.
Please note that the attached list it not intended to provide a comprehensive record of all
applications or proposals being considered, but an overview of those applications and
proposals Officers consider will be of most interest.
The attached list is not intended to substitute the weekly list of planning applications
received nor the usual consultation and notification letters that will continue to be provided.
It is also important to note that the date shown in the Target Committee Date column is
merely an estimate and may well be subject to change.
Interested parties are invited to contact Officers direct if they require any further information
on a particular proposal.
