English translation:planning committee
Explanation:
PLU word normally be short for planutvalg (or plantutval in nynorsk). As such, the term PLU-utvalet is of course quite a pleonasm, but still this is the most probable interpretation.

  -> Certainly different possible interpretations, yes. Mine was aimed at a 'kommuneadministrasjon'. Thank you also for explaining the pleonasm in the source term.
