The Appeals and Complaints Sub-Committee of County Durham Council was scheduled to consider an appeal from the Regeneration, Economy and Growth department. The meeting was also set to address any resolutions regarding the exclusion of the public during discussions involving exempt information.

Consideration of an Appeal

The sub-committee was scheduled to consider an appeal lodged by the Regeneration, Economy and Growth department. This item included a review of the Appeal Hearing Procedure, the Appellant's Statement of Case, and the Hearing Officer's Statement of Case. The details of these documents were considered exempt or confidential information, meaning the public would not be present for this part of the meeting.

The Appeal Hearing Procedure document, available in the public reports pack¹, outlines the process by which appeals are handled. The Appellant's Statement of Case and the Hearing Officer's Statement of Case would have provided the specific details and arguments related to the appeal being considered. These statements are made available to the members of the sub-committee to inform their review.
