In accordance with notice duly given under Procedure Rule 4, Councillor R H Siddall to move the following Motion, duly seconded by Councillor M G Bassenger.
Motion:
To improve efficiency, consistency, and effectiveness of the Local Planning Authority, it is proposed that the Council agrees to switch its governance arrangements for planning committees from three Area Committees to one single Planning Committee. This committee would deal with all area-level matters in future. There would be no change to the current District Planning Committee arrangement.
By agreeing to this Motion, Officers are instructed to bring forward a report to the next Council Meeting which determines the steps required to bring this change into effect after the next Statutory Annual Meeting.
