The procedure for consideration of appeals (petitions) from citizens by parliamentary committees is usually identical to the general procedure for consideration by parliamentary committees of issues that are within their scope of authority.

Abstract. Comparative analysis and summary of the legislation on the implementation of architectural and construction (urban planning) control by independent non-governmental (private) entities was carried out in the analytical note, within the framework of the issues raised in the request: conditions and procedure of power delegation to provide architectural and construction (urban planning) control by independent non-governmental (private) entities; supervision of the independent non-governmental (private) entities' activities under architectural and construction (urban planning) control by the state; powers and liability of independent non-governmental (private) entities in the implementation of architectural and construction (urban planning) control.

The legislation of Ukraine and five European countries: Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, France and Norway was analyzed in the study. It has been established that the delegation of powers to carry out architectural and construction (urban planning) control to independent non-governmental (private) entities is one of the manifestations of a common European country's tendency towards gradual deregulation of this area. The process of such delegation is accompanied by the introduction of new certification systems and licensing systems designed to ensure proper performance by independent non-governmental (private) entities of architectural and construction (urban planning) control to fulfill their duties.

Key words: urban planning, architectural and construction control and supervision, entities of architectural and construction control, the legal status of architectural and construction control entities.
