Planning and Highways Committee Meeting Procedure
At the beginning of the meeting the Chair may state if there any applications which the Chair is proposing should not be considered. This may be in response to a request by the applicant for deferral, or officers wishing to undertake further
discussions, or requests for a site visit. The Committee will then decide whether to agree to the deferral. If deferred, an application will not be considered any further. The Chair will explain to members of the public how the meeting will be conducted, as follows:
1. The Planning Officer will advise the meeting of any late representations that
have been received since the report was written.
2. The officer will state at this stage if the recommendation of the Head of
Planning in the printed report has changed.
3. ONE objector will be allowed to speak for up to 4 minutes. If a number of
objectors wish to make representations on the same item, the Chair will invite
them to nominate a spokesperson.
4. The Applicant, Agent or their representative will be allowed to speak for up to 4 minutes.
5. Members of the Council not on the Planning and Highways Committee will be
able to speak for up to 4 minutes.
6. Members of the Planning and Highways Committee will be able to question the planning officer and respond to issues that have been raised. The
representative of the Highways Services or the City Solicitor as appropriate
may also respond to comments made. Only members of the Planning and Highways Committee may ask questions of the officers. All other interested parties make statements only.
The Committee having heard all the contributions will determine the application. The Committee’s decision will in most cases be taken under delegated powers and will therefore be a final decision.
If the Committee decides it is minded to refuse an application, they must request the Head of Planning to consider its reasons for refusal and report back to the next meeting as to whether there were relevant planning considerations that could reasonably sustain a decision to be minded to refuse.
Planning and Highways Committee
Information about the Committee
The Council has delegated to the Planning and Highways Committee authority to
determine planning applications, however, in exceptional circumstances the
Committee may decide not to exercise its delegation in relation to a specific
application but to make recommendations to the full Council.
It is the Council’s policy to consult people as fully as possible before making decisions that affect them. Members of the public do not have a right to speak at meetings but the Committee will usually allow applicants and objectors to address them for up to four minutes. If you have a special interest in an item on the agenda and want to speak, tell the Committee Officer, who will pass on your request to the Chair. Groups of people will usually be asked to nominate a spokesperson.
The Council is concerned to ensure that its meetings are as open as possible and
confidential business is kept to the strict minimum. When confidential items are
involved these are considered at the end of the meeting at which point members of the public are asked to leave.
