Who decides a planning application?

Work through a few questions to explore how a planning application may be determined under the proposed national scheme of delegation.

This is an illustrative guide to the proposed national scheme of delegation, not a statement of the rules currently in force. The precise application of the scheme, including the relevant thresholds, reserved matters and gateway arrangements, will depend on the final regulations, guidance and relevant committee arrangements. This guide is not legal or planning advice. Source acknowledgement: adapted from Appendix 3, “Who Decides Planning Applications”, published by Brent Council.
