 How can I have my say? Once the Outline Planning Application is submitted to Coventry City Council (the ‘Planning Authority’) they will need to undergo a formal consultation process. You will be able to view the application at the Council’s offices or on-line and we will also make it available on the Project Transform website at www.projecttransform.info You will be able to tell the Council what you think of the application and you can do this in a number of ways; you can email planning@coventry.gov.uk or you can write to the Coventry City Council’s Planning Department. The Planning Authority will assess the application to see if it fits with local planning policy (the Local Development Framework). Once this has been done and the formal consultation is over, the Planning Case Officer will write a report on the application with recommendations for either approval or refusal of the Application. The report will then be reviewed by the Planning Committee at one of their meetings. It is possible to give your opinion and speak at the Planning Committee meeting but arrangements need to be made beforehand.
