Public Comments in Planning Reports

Minutes:

The Committee received a report outlining the current approach to the inclusion of public comments in planning reports, which was to summarise the comments in the body of the report and to attach the emails/letters received, and reporting on the practice undertaken by other London authorities.

 

The Committee noted that 9 out of 11 authorities adopted the same practice as the City, except for one which used a separate bundle of comments and two who summarised the comments only.

 

RESOLVED – that the current report format is maintained so that if there is a judicial review of the Committee’s decision it is clear that Members have had the relevant information available to them. It is for Members to advise whether they require printed or electronic papers.
