The Planning and Development Committee is responsible for reviewing planning applications and proposals within the town and acting as a statutory consultee to the Local Planning Authority. At each meeting, councillors consider new applications, note planning decisions made by East Suffolk Council, and review any letters of objection, support, or observations submitted by residents and consultees.

Please note that the Council uses AI to transcribe audio recordings of our meetings to assist in generating minutes. These drafts undergo a thorough human review and correction process by Council staff to ensure the accuracy of the final record.
