* How can I access remote meetings? 

Visit the remote meetings access page for details on how to view remote public committee meetings.

Are meetings open to the public?

Yes. Meetings are open to the public but there may be some matters which will be considered in private. During such situations, members of the public will be asked to leave the meeting at this point. The circumstances under which we can consider matters in private are tightly controlled by law.

Refreshments

Please note: refreshments are not normally available for members of the public to access at meetings.

Can I record, film, take photographs or use social media during meetings?

Yes, new legislation means that you can film, record, take photos and use social media during open meetings. For more information please visit the photography, filming and social media use page.

Can members of the public speak at meetings?

Yes but only if they have registered to speak on an application prior to the meeting taking place. However, members of the public are not permitted to ask questions at these meetings.

For further details on registering to speak, please look at the Speaking at a planning committee meeting page.

What decisionscan the sub-committee make on an application?

The Sub-Committee can make the following decisions:

Approve - this means that the application can go ahead.

Refuse - this means that the application cannot go ahead.

Defer - either for Members to carry out a site visit before making a decision, or for Members to request more information from other parties before the application is brought back to be considered by the Sub-Committee.

Defer and delegate approval or refusal - this means that the Sub-Committee gives authority to the Director to approve or refuse an application subject to the provisos in the report without the need for the application to be reconsidered by the Sub-Committee.

Refer to the Planning Committee - this means that the Sub-Committee has voted to approve an application which is contrary to the Council's planning policies and therefore has to be referred to the Planning Committee for determination.

How and when can I view agenda and minutes?

Agendas and reports are placed on public deposit five clear working days before each meeting and can be downloaded by selecting the relevant agenda below.

Reports containing exempt or confidential matters will not, however, be available.


Minutes are placed on public deposit no later than five clear working days after each meeting and can be downloaded by selecting the relevant minute below.
