Planning and
Development

Council meetings are open to all. Members of the public are very welcome and encouraged to attend meetings.

The Planning Committee considers:

The City Council’s role is that of a statutory consultee, with no powers to ‘call in’ applications.  Please contact your unitary councillor or a Wiltshire Council Planning Officer with any planning queries you may have.

• To comment on planning applications received from the local planning authority
• To comment on behalf of the Council on Local Plans, Structure Plans, Mineral Plans, Waste Plans, Regional Plans and any other Plan or Studies as considered appropriate
• To comment on Licensing matters
• Street naming when requested
• Highways and street furniture when requested
• Any other matter which may be delegated to it by the Council from time to time

Salisbury City Council will enter a ‘no comment’ response to applications which lie wholly within one or more of the following classes, unless a representation or letter of objection has been received from a member of the public or a Councillor or member of the public would like to speak on a particular application:

• Domestic 1 story rear extensions less than 4 metres
• Domestic 1 & 2 storey extensions which project no further than the building line of the immediately adjacent buildings
• Domestic 1 storey side extensions greater than 1 metre from side boundary
• Domestic porches

This statement was agreed on 3 July 2017.
