Councillor Nicholl
Concern has been raised around deferral of planning applications to committee and the limiting of elected members choice to defer applications for democratic review. Wish to raise the concern and ask around a review of the Planning Committee’s scheme of delegation to ensure members have the ability to refer applications effectively.
