Issue - meetings

Members considered the current position in respect of continuous service improvement to the Planning Service.

Councillor Joel suggested that Ward Councillors should be notified and invited to attend pre-application meetings where an application in their Ward had been submitted.

In relation to site visit procedures (Item 15 on the table – page 530), Councillor Harris requested the wording be made more robust to encourage Members to undertake visits.

It was noted that when Committee meetings returned to normal, screens would be used to show plans and drawings.

Members noted the updates in the report.
