Agenda and decisions

This is where Councillors who are attending as substitutes will say for whom they are attending.

To note the appointment of Councillor S Hall as Chair of Strategic Planning Committee by Council at its meeting held on 29 June 2016.

Councillor Donna Bellamy substituted for Councillor Donald Firth.

To approve the Minutes of the meetings of the Committee held on 25 May 2016 and 16 June 2016.

The Minutes of the meetings held on 25 May 2016 and 16 June 2016 agreed as a correct record.

The Councillors will be asked to say if there are any items on the Agenda about which they might have been lobbied. The Councillors will be asked to say if there are any items on the Agenda in which they have disclosable pecuniary interests, which would prevent them from participating in any discussion of the items or participating in any vote upon the items, or any other interests.

Councillor Armer declared an ‘other’ interest in Application 2014/91831 – Cockley Hill Lane, Kirkheaton and Application 2014/92535 – Shop Lane, Kirkheaton due to him being a former member of Kirkburton Parish Council and knowing people in the area.

Most debates take place in public. This only changes when there is a need to consider certain issues, for instance, commercially sensitive information or details concerning an individual. You will be told at this point whether there are any items on the Agenda which are to be discussed in private.

All items considered in public session.

The Committee will receive any petitions and hear any deputations from members of the public. A deputation is where up to five people can attend the meeting and make a presentation on some particular issue of concern. A member of the public can also hand in a petition at the meeting but that petition should relate to something on which the body has powers and responsibilities.

No deputations or petitions were received.
