Yes, you can attend the hearing in person. Most hearings are assumed to take place in public, allowing attendance from the public unless the committee decides to exclude them.
For planning committee meetings, attendees who want to speak should notify the council ahead of time. Here's a quick overview of what to expect:
| Attendance Type | Details |
|---|---|
| In-Person | Public attendance is generally allowed unless otherwise decided by the committee. |
| Online Participation | Some hearings may also be available virtually. |
| Speaking Rights | You must register to speak by notifying the council by 4pm on the working day before the meeting. |
Make sure you check in advance if you wish to speak or have any specific concerns. You can find more details and register here.
