This committee discusses local planning applications, which are sent to the Town Council, from Herefordshire Council's Planning Department, for comment. Although the Town Council can approve or disprove an application, the final decision always lies with the Local Authority's Planning Department. Kington Town Council's Planning Committee meet on the third Monday of each month, unless there are no planning matters to discuss. Members of the public are invited to attend. Start times of Committee meetings can vary as there are generally several meetings on the same evening. The business of some meetings can take longer to discuss than others, meaning that the next meeting's start time may be slightly later than originally planned.
