Chair's Communications

Minutes:

24.1    The newly, appointed Chair, Councillor Littman welcomed everyone to the meeting stating that he felt genuinely honoured to be Chairing Committee for the first time notwithstanding his experience having Chaired various meetings and Committees and having sat on the Planning Committee for seven years. The Chair paid tribute to his predecessor Councillor Tracey Hill, who had Chaired the committee for the last 14-months and had done so admirably being clear, even-handed, and firm where necessary.

 

24.2    The Chair then proceeded to a run through of the protocol that was being used whilst meetings were being held virtually. It was explained that in order to enable the meeting to run smoothly, all presentations, together with questions submitted in advance, and answers to those questions, had been circulated, were available online, and could be referenced by all attending the meeting. Presentations took into account the fact that, following Covid19 guidelines, no site visits had been arranged, and enhanced visuals had been provided to show the context of the area under discussion. The reports had also been published in advance as usual. Arrangements for consideration of reports and for public speaking were also outlined and for regular breaks to be taken during the course of the proceedings.
