Planning Committee

No business was conducted because the meeting was not quorate, meaning too few members were present to make decisions. Only six members were present, but the council's constitution requires at least half of the Committee's members to be present. Ten members sent apologies.

2. Quoracy

   Minute

   The Chair reminded Members that, in accordance with Section 9.9.5 of the Council’s Constitution, the quorum for this Committee was as follows: At least half of the total number of Members of the Committee rounded to the nearest whole should be present, otherwise no business shall be conducted. It was noted that Councillor Jeremy Newton arrived after the start of the Meeting, but as there were only six Committee Members present, the Meeting was therefore inquorate.

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.

Declarations are read from the minutes once they are published.
