Please note that there is a maximum of 5 minutes for the applicant/supporters to speak and 5 minutes total for objectors.  Therefore if more than one person/group wishes to speak in a particular category you will need to liaise with each other over how the time is divided up.

If you require any further information about speaking at a Development Control Committee meeting or require the information in an alternative format please contact the Committee Administration team on 01434 611515 or e-mail:  committees@nnpa.org.uk and we will be happy to help you.
