Planning Applications
Your Plans Group reviews all planning applications submitted to Peterborough City Council (about 1500 applications each year). About 100 applications each year are examined in detail and we submit comments on around a third of those. Applications we comment on are usually major proposals but may be smaller applications, particularly those we believe have an impact on a listed building or a Conservation Area. The Society does not comment on proposals whose impact is restricted to immediate neighbours. Where appropriate, written comments are followed up by putting our case in person at the City Council’s Planning Committee. Civic Society comments may be objections, in support or neutral. We may submit neutral comments if we are generally supportive but have concerns about some aspects of the proposal.
Comments on recent applications
The following is a list of the more recent cases the Plans Group has commented upon. The reference numbers have been given so that should you wish to examine the plans and comments from the Society or others, you can access them via the Peterborough City Council's Planning applications page by entering the reference number in the search box. Select the “Documents” heading, then “View associated documents”. Society comments are listed under the name “Peterborough Civic Society”.
