Decided: The Committee agreed that the Chairperson will write to the Cabinet Member, on the Committee's behalf, with its observations and recommendations.

Decided: The Committee noted the approach to developing its 2026-27 work programme, and that a final version will come back for formal approval. It also noted the schedule of committee dates.
Decided: The Committee approved the proposed governance changes, with its own amendments. The main points are: (1) Applications to vary conditions, make small changes, discharge conditions or approve reserved matters (details left for later) will be decided by officers, unless the Committee formally asks for one to come back to it. (2) Applications go to Committee if they are for 250 or more homes, more than 2,500 square metres of commercial floorspace, sites over 10 hectares, or major developments with an Environmental Impact Statement. (3) Requests from members to refer an application will be decided by the Chair, who must keep a record of decisions and reasons and report it regularly to the Committee. (4) The Chair can ask for an application to come to Committee. (5) The Chair will be consulted where five or more objections come from five or more households. (6) All applications from officers in the Planning Service who make planning decisions will go to Committee. Each speaker gets 4 minutes, and more than one ward member may speak at the Chair's discretion. (10) An updated Members' Planning Code of Good Practice and a single Planning Guide will be prepared. On petitions, the Committee voted to recommend to Cabinet that petitions with 50 or more signatures no longer automatically send an application to Committee. These would instead go to the Head of Planning, in consultation with the Chair, and the Petition Scheme would exclude subsequent or technical applications. Officers were given delegated authority to finalise the Constitution amendments, which go to the Constitution Committee and then full Council. The Petition Scheme changes go to the Constitution Committee and then Cabinet. The Head of Planning was given authority to finalise the other procedure notes and protocols. Confirmation of the final arrangements will be sent to all members.

The Council will survey all Elected Members on their experience of reporting these issues.
