Applications on Scheme of Delegation Eligible for Call In

Pursuant to the Council’s published Scheme of Delegation, the applications set out in the Delegated List below are now the subject of a recommendation by a Planning Officer. Applicants and agents who have any queries regarding a recommendation contained on this list should contact the planning officer dealing with the application. Please note that a Councillor can request that an application is removed from the Delegated List and referred to the Planning and Regulatory Services Committee at any stage prior to 5pm on the date noted in the table below provided a sound planning reason is given.

ALL CALL IN REQUESTS TO PLANNING COMMITTEE SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO EMAIL ADDRESS .   ALL REQUESTS SHOULD BE TITLED ‘CALL IN REQUEST’

The new IT System for Planning went live on 5th December 2022. Applicants, agents – and any third parties who may have an interest in a particular application –  are asked to note that under the new IT System the functionality of the system has changed and language/terminology used on the system is different to that used under the old system.  In particular, it should be noted that unlike the old IT system, the status of an application on the new IT system will no longer change when the application has been placed on a delegated list.  Therefore, the onus is on applicants, agents and any third parties who may have an interest in a particular application to check the weekly delegated lists which appear on the Council’s website every Thursday evening to determine if an application has been placed on the delegated list at www.armaghbanbridgecraigavon.gov.uk/resident/planning-applications-residents/

Members of the public should also note there are a number of identified technical issues with the new system.  The performance of the system will continue  to be monitored as part of the normal service management arrangements and the Council is working closely with the stakeholders including the suppliers to resolve the outstanding issues.  Any issues of concern regarding the new planning IT system should be forwarded to
