Stepping Hill Area Committee represents the
wards of Hazel Grove, Offerton and Stepping Hill.
At area committees
members of the public have the opportunity to ask questions about
any matters within the Area Committee’s powers (except on
legal or confidential matters).
You can view the Council Code of Practice and download a question
card on the website. You can also submit a question using the
online
question form.
Area Committees have delegated powers to deal
with certain types of planning applications, and Councillors have
the power to call up applications that are ordinarily dealt with by
planning officers, to be considered and determined by the Area
Committee.
Members of the public also have the
opportunity to address the Committee during consideration of a
planning application for a total of 3 minutes. One person will be
permitted to address the Area Committee for 3 minutes in objection
to the application and one person for 3 minutes in support of the
application.
If you wish to speak on a planning application
it is advisable that you arrive 5 minutes prior to the commencement
of the meeting in order to inform the Democratic Services
Officer.
