Minutes:

The Committee noted that a report on Appeals against planning decisions and enforcement action had been published on the Council’s website.

 

For the past four years, this report had been published on the Council’s website and in the Weekly Bulletin only, as a means of saving paper and cost.  Decisions of particular note to the Planning Committee as a whole had nevertheless been attached to the paper agenda, and Members had been invited to contact officers in advance if they wanted detailed verbal summaries of other decisions presented at meetings.

 

Councillor Deborah Roberts proposed that, in future, reports on Appeals against planning decisions and enforcement action should be attached to paper copies of the agenda, and not simply published online.   This proposal was seconded and, by seven votes to six, it was resolved that, with immediate effect, reports on appeals against planning decisions and enforcement action should appear in paper form attached to the agenda as well as on the Council’s website and in the Weekly Bulletin.
