The Community Council is a statutory consultee on planning issues. This includes not just individual applications but also infrastructure plans such as the Local Development Plan, Tay Plan (Tayside Strategic Plan) and the National Planning Framework. These plans lay out future development and can have an impact on our local community.
The Community Council scrutinises all local planning applications on a weekly list sent out by Angus Council. We respond to Angus Council only if there are planning issues. Very occasionally there is an issue of wide potential community impact which we would circulate to the community.
