However, the majority of applications are assessed against council planning policies and decided by the head of planning services, under delegated powers, with approximately 10% of applications decided by committees. Usually, the applications sent to the committee are large, complex or controversial, or those requested by an objector or member of the Council to be taken to Committee.
