Please note that, in accordance with the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985, any representations submitted will be made available for public inspection.
Representations should be restricted to matters relevant to town planning. This includes:
- likely effects of the proposal on land use
- local amenities and character of the area
- the environment and countryside
- traffic and parking.
The effect on property values, loss of view, commercial competition and private interests such as covenants cannot be taken into account.
In all cases applications will be assessed against the provisions of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan and other relevant material considerations. This includes supplementary guidance adopted by the council.
The head of Planning and Regeneration will normally determine most other applications. This will be under delegated authority. Unless for example, there are statutory consultee objections (including Parish/Town councils) and the Head of Service recommendation is to permit. Any councillor may request any case to be brought to a Planning Committee for decision.
