Councillor Brodie asked a supplementary question regarding the constitution update now being considered by the Audit Committee, the review of the Code of Practice for Planning Matters needed to be undertaken as soon as possible as highlighted in the peer review recently undertaken.

 

The frustration of the Committee was recognised, and they were keen to move forward with this piece of work. The Cabinet Member for Planning and Enforcement would liaise with the Chairman of the Audit Committee to move this on as quickly as possible. The Committee expressed a view that they would like to see the working group to move forward and progress the review.
