Councillor Mike Peers asked to raise a point on process.  He thanked the Senior Solicitor for the advice he had received prior to the start of the meeting but   raised his disappointment that an outline application for the demolition of 81 Drury Lane with officer recommendation for refusal had not been included on the agenda for the meeting.  He explained that he had received a copy of the draft agenda on 28^th January which he had subsequently shared with local residents, but had since learnt that correspondence outlining legal opinion of the application had been submitted at a late stage from the applicant and therefore a decision had been made to defer the item from the agenda.  He raised concerns that this had further delayed consideration of the application, which he had first responded to in September 2018 and felt that the application should have remained on the agenda for a decision on its deferral to be made by the Planning Committee.

The Chief Officer (Planning, Environment & Economy) outlined the process in dealing with applications being submitted to the Planning Committee.  He explained that two weeks prior to the Committee meeting a list of applications that were in a position to be brought forward for consideration were provided to the Chair and Vice-Chair. This allowed time for all interested parties who had made representations on an application to be contacted with the Committee date for them to make themselves available to speak at the meeting, if they so wished.  The exception in the case of the application referred to by Councillor Peers, was the submission of significant late information from the applicant prior to the agenda items being published on the Council’s website.  Officers did not feel it was safe to include the application on the agenda without the opportunity to take into account that information and therefore withdrew it from the agenda prior to its publication.       

The reports of the Chief Officer (Planning, Environment & Economy) are enclosed.

That decisions be recorded as shown on the Planning Application schedule attached as an appendix.
