PL/17/31 REVIEW OF PLANNING CHARTER AND PUBLIC SPEAKING ARRANGEMENTS PDF 82 KB Report by the Cabinet Member for Planning attached. Additional documents: Minutes: Philip Isbell, Corporate Manager – Growth and Sustainable Planning introduced Paper PL/17/31 asking Members to consider adopting a revised Planning Charter (Appendix A to the report) – recommendation 2.1 refers. Under recommendation 2.2, no changes were suggested to the current Public Speaking Arrangements.
The Corporate Manager referred to the background to the proposed changes to paragraphs 7.6 and 7.7of the Charter and the positive experience which had been reported by a neighbouring authority which has been operating a similar Delegation Panel system for some time. Members raised a number of questions about the detail of the proposed arrangements, particularly in relation to the requirement for an application being ‘of more than local significance.’ Members noted that the Corporate Manager was happy to assist Members with this aspect as well as referral requests generally and overall the Committee agreed to accept the revised Charter, subject to the removal of the underlining in paragraph 7.7.
Members did not accept recommendation 2.2 of Paper PL/17/31 as they considered that the current arrangements should be reviewed, to include consideration being given as to whether questions should be allowed to Ward Members and County Councillors addressing the Committee under the public speaking arrangements.
RESOLVED
(1) That the revised Planning Charter (attached as Appendix A to Paper PL/17/31) be adopted, subject to the underlining in paragraph 7.7 being omitted.
(2) That the Public Speaking Arrangements at Planning Committee be reviewed by the Corporate Manager – Growth and Sustainable Planning, as requested by the Committee.
