I have been pondering about Planning Committees this morning.
The answer is yes.
Councillors have a key role in planning; to lead and decide on the future plans for their area. This needs to be focused at the strategic plan and local plan level, and reduced at the planning application stage.

Really good move here on planning:
- Frees up councillors to focus on making Local Plans
- Speeds up planning process
- Reduces uncertainty
- Respects planning officers as professionals doing their job, which should help staff retention.
