Planning Applications Committee (PAC)
The Wandsworth Planning Applications Committee's powers are set to be reduced from November 2026 under new planning rules.
New planning rules, expected to be implemented from November 2026, are set to significantly reduce the powers of the Wandsworth Planning Applications Committee (PAC), which decides on planning applications. Many applications previously determined by the committee will instead be decided by council officers, according to a September 2026 story. The Wandsworth Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee discussed the implications of these changes in September 2026.
The upcoming government legislation, which drives these changes, is scheduled to take effect in November 2026. This means that from November, applications that the committee previously reviewed will be determined by officers, as noted in a September 2026 report. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss these specific changes.
