Planning Committee
This committee has three key roles: it reviews every planning application, considers tree applications, and takes part in various district and regional consultations where they may impact on Princes Risborough.
The Town Council is a statutory consultee, and reviews all planning applications and advises WDC should they not meet local requirements and aspirations. However, it should be noted that Wycombe District Council makes the final decision on all planning applications, and does not always agree with the Town Council's comments.
