Agenda item - Callover

The Democratic Services Officer will read out each Planning Application in turn and on any applications which are not called it will be assumed that the recommendation(s) set out in the officer report are agreed. Any Major applications or those where there are speakers are automatically reserved for discussion.

100.1    The Democratic Services Officer, read out items 101 A – E and all of the items appearing on the agenda were called for discussion. It was noted that Major applications and any on which there were speakers were automatically reserved for discussion.

100.2    The Chair, Councillor Cattell explained that this measure intended to expedite the business of the Committee and to avoid the necessity of those who had an interest in applications on which there were no speakers spending hours waiting for the Committee to get to their application(s). She wished to reassure the public however, that in any instances where an application was not called for discussion members had read the officer report and any supporting information in advance of the meeting. However, having given the officer recommendation(s) their due consideration they had no questions nor required further clarification on any aspect of the application before moving to their decision.

100.3    RESOLVED – That the position be noted.
