The Operational Manager for Employee Services in presenting the report which set out the recruitment and selection arrangements proposed for the position of Head of Sustainable development (formerly Head of Regeneration and Planning) advised that following approval by Committee the position would be advertised and that longlisting would take place together with any necessary assessments of candidates in advance of shortlisting. A final shortlist would then be drawn up for interview at a future meeting of the Committee. The Director of Place further advised that it had been considered opportune to amend the duties and title of the previous Head of Regeneration and Planning with the new post having a Climate Change and Nature Emergency focus and taking on the responsibilities for Strategic Transport Policy and Countryside services (including footpaths). 22-06-27 - KB No. Councillor Johnson drew attention to the omission within the person specification of reference to the Welsh Language being a desirable aspect as well as in his view the omission of reference to the Future Generations, Planning Wales and Environment Wales legislation. In response the Director advised that it had been considered important to avoid putting too much detail in the person specification and that such legislation would be referenced in the information pack that would be sent to enquirers. With regard to the omission of the Welsh Language being a desirable aspect within the person specification both the Operational Manager and Director confirmed that this had been in the original draft but had erroneously been omitted in the final version however, it would be reinstated prior to advertising the position.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
