 WELSH ASSEMBLY GOVERNMENT REVIEW OF THE PLANNING APPLICATION SYSTEM IN WALES

PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON RESEARCH FINDINGS
 
The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) is currently conducting a comprehensive review of the planning application system in Wales. It has appointed GVA Grimley to conduct an important research study that will inform the review and we will soon be publishing a report which will include a series of recommendations for the reform of the planning application process.
 
The research project has involved extensive consultation with key groups and individuals including a questionnaire which was sent to all 25 Local Planning Authorities in Wales, a series of Focus Groups for representatives of the public, private and voluntary sectors and an invitation to submit written comments to the review, which was published in the December edition of Cynllunio, the journal of the Royal Town Planning Institute in Wales (RTPI Cymru).
 
Our report to WAG will be available to download from the GVA Grimley website www.gvagrimley.co.uk/wagplanningconsultation
from Monday 8th of March. Publication of the report will be followed by a four week consultation period and details of how to submit comments will also appear on the website. The consultation period will close on Thursday 8th April and I regret that we will not be able to accept any comments submitted after this date.
 

 

Alongside the public consultation period we will be holding two dissemination events, in North Wales and South Wales. These will take the format of a presentation followed by a question and answer session. It is anticipated that each session will last for an hour or so.  The dates and venues for the two dissemination events are as follows:
·         Millennium Stadium, Cardiff – Thursday 11th March 2010 – 2 PM 
       Conwy Business Centre, Llandudno Junction – Friday 12th March 2010 – 2PM
 

Should you wish to attend one of these events just email either Ben Lester (ben.lester@gvagrimley.co.uk) or Jayne McDonald (jayne.mcdonald@gvagrimley.co.uk) to confirm your attendance.

 


 

MEMBER ALLOWANCE REGULATIONS FOR COMMUNITY COUNCILLORS  

Since 2003 the Welsh Assembly Government has been discussing the possibility of providing attendance allowances for Community Council and Co-opted Members. They have now produced a consultation report which moves this issue forward and has invited comments/observations from both public bodies and individuals.
 
The recommendation is that community council Members would be able to claim an allowance in the region of £100 per annum.
 
There are a number of other suggestions/recommendations that are included including care allowances and travel allowances.
 
A copy of the consultation report can be viewed on the following link:
 
If you would wish to make representations on these matters please send them directly to the Welsh assembly Government, details of which are included within the documentation.
 
If you wish to send a copy of your representations to the community council please do so by using the “contact the council” link. Members will then take your views into consideration when they discus this issue at their March Council meeting.
