Agenda item

To agree the public minutes of the Planning Applications Sub-Committee meeting held on 17 April 2024, 30 April 2024 and 9 May 2024.

The Town Clerk informed Members that a Member had requested a number of amendments to the draft minutes of the meeting held on 17 April 2017. The requested amendments were outlined. Members were informed that one of the amendments was to amend the wording in the second paragraph on page 21, from “within 15 minutes” to “within 50 metres”. However, this did not reflect what was stated in the meeting so it was not proposed to make this amendment. Members agreed that the proposed changes be made, with the exception of the amendment to the second paragraph of page 21.
