Please note that generally Committees are only meeting where there is a clear business need to do so, so may be cancelled at any time. 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 support, object to or make a general comment on an application, the final decision always lies with the Local Authority's Planning Department. Kington Town Council's Planning Committee usually meets 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. WITH EFFECT FROM JANUARY 2024, THE PLANNING COMMITTEE WILL INCORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND IS RENAMED THE PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE. This committee will continue to meet monthly on the third Monday of each month, where there is a business need to do so. Terms of reference for this committee can be viewed on the policies page of this website .
