11 EAST AREA COMMITTEE – RE. CHANGE TO FREQUENCY OF MEETINGS AND
BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED IN A COMMITTEE CYCLE.
Councillor
Durrant as Chair of the East Area Committee has requested that Civic Affairs
Committee agree to amend the Constitution so that East Area Committee can
consider planning applications only, at one meeting in a committee cycle, with
all other business plus open forum considered at another meeting in the
cycle. This would facilitate the
conduct of business and improve the information given to applicants and
residents about the date and time that each planning applications would be
heard.
This
is based on experience that the first two East Committee meetings in October
and December had to be adjourned with further meetings arranged to finish off
business.
As
the policy and principles on which Area Committees have been based, and any
subsequent monitoring and review, are matters for the Leader and Strategy
Scrutiny, the reference from Councillor Durrant must be considered first at
Strategy Scrutiny on 26 January.
Before considering the
next items on this agenda, the Committee is recommended to exclude
members of the public from the meeting on the grounds that, if they were
present, there would be disclosure to them of information defined as exempt
from publication by Categories 8 and 9 as defined in the Council’s Constitution
part 4B (pages 181-3).
