Minutes: Consideration was given to items 1 - 2 of the report of the Strategic Manager for Planning and Infrastructure Delivery.
The Committee sought clarification regarding the lawfulness of the decision if the Committee approved the application. It was confirmed that the application was in front of them as it was for Council purposes (and therefore required to be determined by the Planning Committee) and whilst officers had recommended refusal, the Committee may reach a different conclusion. It was considered whether the Committee could go straight to the vote and be given the officer presentation, however there was a member of the public registered to speak, and it was decided to move forward and hear the officer presentation before arriving at a decision on the application.
