RCC: Survey Results

Key objectives for change

Options for Change
  • Do Nothing
  • No change except an awareness of the appeal process
  • Do a little
  • Charge a fee to speed up the process with decisions being made in a statutory timescale
  • 2 Stage RCC Approvals
  • RCC granted concurrent with planning permission
  • Stage 1: geometry and layout
  • Stage 2: technical details

Options for Change
  • Certified Developers / Contractors
  • Developers who prove competency self certify through the RCC process. Approvals only required for deviation
  • RCC Rest in Peace
  • Scrap the RCC. Grant planning permission then submit the scheme for adoption
