Planning is often a contentious part of a local council’s responsibilities. Whether it’s about building an extension to your home, a new supermarket being built in your area or a house converted into an HMO (house of multiple occupancy).

Local Council Planning Committees have to navigate the sometimes competing requirements of passion versus process.

• How does this actually work?
• What powers do the Council actually have?
• What say does your local Councillor have?
• Is it consistent & fair?
• What happens when it goes wrong?

What difference will the recent government changes make to the look, feel and efficacy of local planning committees?

To help us bust the myths we’re joined by Chair of Portsmouth City Council’s Planning Committee, Cllr Suzy Horton.
