Minutes:
A report was received which outlined procedures for adoption as best practice in respect of the Strategic Planning Board and the two Planning Committees in relation to:
(1) the reference of matters to the Strategic Planning Board relating to a significant departure from policy which a Planning Committee is minded to approve and any other matters which have strategic implications by reason of their scale, nature and location
(2) procedure if Members wished to make a decision contrary to an officers recommendation
There had been a variation in the practices between the four former authorities and it was therefore necessary to promote a consistent and transparent approach across the Strategic Planning Board and the Planning Committees.
RESOLVED:
That the procedures be adopted as best practice.
