Planning is probably the one issue that is always most controversial and creates strong opposing opinions and yet one of the most Government regulated areas of Rochford District Council’s powers and responsibilities.
Planning Applications are determined within an accepted and published set of procedures. Most of these decisions are delegated to the Council’s experienced Planning Officers but some are referred to the Council’s Development Committee for decision. Once a PlanningApplication is Approved it usually has a series of conditions attached to it, some of which are pre-conditions which are required to be signed off and agreed by the Council’s Officers before any building commences.

Just a reminder if it comes up again !!
Section 106, Representation of the People Act 1983, Crown Prosecution Service Special Cases Division
Criticism of public acts, even if extravagant and perverse,or of a person’s political career and conduct, does not fall within the Section.
All is fair in love and war and, well, that’s politics !!
