School projects on streamline planning list

The local council is notified weekly of applications which are considered by planners to be non-contentious. It speeds up the process as it removes the need to take every case to the council’s planning committee for consultation. Streamlined cases are those which planners intend to approve; where there is no formal request from a councillor to bring the application before Council; the application has attracted no objections; and the proposal meets all relevant planning policies and other material considerations.
