Additional documents:

Decision:

That the alterations to the Planning Code of Practice identified in tracked changes appended to the report be approved, together with the additional changes raised by this Committee.

Minutes:

The Deputy Monitoring Officer presented the report to review the Planning Code of Practice in line with a resolution of the Committee and Council earlier in the year.  He provided an overview of the changes appended to the report, which would need to be approved by the Constitution & Democratic Services Committee and full Council.

 

The following further changes were agreed for consistency:

 

·         Retain reference to ‘Chair’ throughout the document (as opposed to Chairman/Chairperson).

·         The same wording to be used in sections 5.5 and 5.8 to describe Members not being able to take part in an item on which they had a pre-determined stance.

·         To use the correct title for the Chief Officer (Planning, Environment & Economy) in sections 11 and 12.

 

On that basis, the recommendation was moved by Councillor Gladys Healey and seconded by Mark Morgan.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the alterations to the Planning Code of Practice identified in tracked changes appended to the report be approved, together with the additional changes raised by this Committee.
