Planning Applications

Who decides whether a planning application is approved?

Arun District Council is the regulatory body and makes decisions on the planning applications - follow the link to view Agenda and Minutes of Arun District Council’s Development Control Committee. Kingston Parish Council is a statutory consultee only on planning applications. The Planning Committee meets on a regular basis to determine whether to make representations on planning applications relating to Kingston (including planning applications for sites outside of the parish which would impact on the parish)
