Planning Committee meetings are held as required on receipt of plans- usually on a Tuesday evening at 6.00p.m. Any plans lodged with Northumberland County Council for the Civic Parish of Amble are commented upon; often plans lodged for the borders of the immediately surrounding parishes are received for comment too as these could affect the town.

Council meetings are open to the public and time is allowed at the beginning for anyone to address the Council with questions or concerns they wish to raise after prior notification to the Clerk.
