New Development Management Committee replaces Planning Committee

South Derbyshire District Council's Annual Council agreed to rename its Planning Committee. The Committee will now be known as the Development Management Committee.
It was also agreed that planning applications that receive over four letters of objection will NOT automatically be referred to the Development Management Committee for consideration.
If a resident objects to a planning application and wants this to be considered by Committee, they will need to contact their local District Councillor, who may then 'call in' the application to be considered by Committee.
If you have any concerns or queries, please speak to the Planning team on 01283 228706, or email: planning@southderbyshire.gov.uk
