Planning Appeals

The Planning Applications Committee is scheduled to discuss a report on the performance of planning appeals. According to the agenda, this discussion may be held in private because it relates to Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) .

Exclusion of Press and Public

The agenda indicates that the Chair, Councillor Adam Parkes, Chairman of the Council, is expected to propose that the press and public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the exempt minutes of the last meeting and the report on planning appeals.
