Minutes of Previous Meeting To approve the minutes of the meeting held on Monday 27 February 2023. Minutes: The minutes of the meeting held on Monday 27 February 2023 were approved and signed by the Chairman as a correct record. Councillor Fenton observed that Pages 9, 10 and 11 of the minutes looked verbatim of text in the original report followed by a few bullet points for the debate, and queried if this was a new way of recording the minutes. The Principal Planner David Ditchett confirmed that because of the strategic large scale nature of the application and that it may be appealed, David Ditchett’s opening speech to Members is in the minutes. This ensures that if the minutes are passed to the inspectorate, it is clear that members had the full picture before making a decision. The Chair added that it would be more useful to include more of the debate in future minutes. |
