The monthly DAC meeting dates and submission deadlines are set out below
Many proposals require prior and detailed review ahead of each meeting. This requires the DAC Office to operate a strict policy on submission dates from parishes - normally a fortnight prior to each meeting.

A small DAC Standing Committee may convene if necessary between the meetings of the Main DAC in order to deal with routine or urgent items. Its role is limited and distinct. It does not normally deal with any items relating to buildings listed Grade 1 or 2* though it may make decisions relating to emergencies on health & safety grounds. The Standing Committee will be run only if there is enough business to justify it in that particular month.
