The Leader of the Council notified Members that following consultation with both Groups (& respective Leaderships) an amendment to the composition of the Planning Committee for the 2023/24 cycle was proposed as follows:- Planning Committee would comprise of 14 Members - 1 Member per ward providing greater and fairer representation across all areas of the borough on a proportionality basis of 9 Labour Members and 5 Independent Members. An additional change for the Committee would be that, further to best practice currently in operation in other local authorities and to aid in the mitigation of non-declaration of interests, the Committee would adopt the following principle – ‘if a planning application was received in a particular ward and that application was to be decided at Planning Committee, the Member representing that ward on the Committee was permitted to speak on the application but not have a vote on it’. It was proposed that these amendments be trialled for a period of 6 months (and included in other changes to the Constitution later in the year, if agreed). The above proposal was unanimously RESOLVED ACCORDINGLY.
