This means councillors in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charnwood.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Charnwood<\/span><\/a> will be able to get involved in planning application disputes at a much earlier stage.<\/p>\n<p>The procedure was created for when councillors require a planning applications to be decided by the Plans Committee rather than by officers. Previously, councillors only became involved at the end of the application process. The amendment means councillors will have the opportunity to raise concerns and be more involved if objections are raised.<\/p>\n<p>Changes are expected to come into play for new applications received on or after 1 July. Information and training will be available for councillors to help understand the new processes.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the meeting, Councillor David Snartt, representative for the Forest Bradgate ward said: \u201cI had some concerns when this came out in the way that we as members were going to work with officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think after a few meetings and emails, we have come to a conclusion to make this work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was something that I was passionate about for officers to keep us in touch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is vitally important to me that if there are real objections that we need to know those as they go through the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The amendments will also mean ward councillors who ask for the Plans Committee to look at an application will be expected to be present to give direct comments.
