About Portsmouth City Council Planning Authority

Portsmouth City Council serves as the local authority for Portsmouth, located in Hampshire, England. With a history dating back to medieval times, the council has undergone various reforms and has operated as a unitary authority since 1997, combining the roles of both district and county council. This structure enables Portsmouth City Council to independently manage local planning applications and services without the oversight of Hampshire County Council. The council is currently led by Steve Pitt (Liberal Democrat), who has held the position since 16 May 2023. Natalie Brahma-Pearl serves as Chief Executive since 2023. The council comprises 42 councillors serving 4 years terms, with the most recent election held on 2 May 2024.
