UPDATE ON BEST PRACTICE IN RELATION TO MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
OF THE PLANNING COMMITTEE
Cllr S Palmer advised the committee that, following issues in respect of a previous
application, advice had been sought from LALC in relation to the way planning
resolutions are taken. When an ordinary resolution is defeated, the opposite is
adopted; however, the ‘best practice’ way to deal with a planning matter (following
the defeat of a proposal) is to make a further proposal to ensure clarity and
transparency.
It was proposed, seconded and
Resolved: That following any future defeat of any resolution, a further proposition
and vote will be made and taken to ensure clarity and transparency
