Usually, the Planning & Highways Committee meets every four weeks to consider planning applications.
Haslemere Town Council’s role is to inspect the planning applications made to Waverley Borough Council, the statutory planning authority, and to recommend approval or objection. Haslemere Town Council itself is not the statutory planning authority, but our recommendations are given consideration by the planning officer at Waverley Borough Council.
Members of the public are entitled to speak at both Waverley Borough and Haslemere Town Council Planning & Highways meetings. They may speak in support of an application or in opposition to an application, but in both cases are limited to four minutes.
Haslemere Town Council has published Guidance for Public speaking at Meetings which outlines the correct procedure.
The Planning & Highways Committee is comprised of the following councillors:
- Councillor Farzana Aslam
- Councillor Tom Bridge
- Councillor Malcolm Carter
- Councillor Jerome Davidson
- Councillor Jacquie Keen
- Councillor Phil Miller
- Councillor John Robini (Vice-Chairman)
- Councillor Terry Weldon (Chairman)
