To approve the Minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 19 March 2020.

The minutes of the meeting held on 19 March 2020 were approved 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 item or participating in any vote upon the item, or any other interests.

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.

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.

In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 10 (2), Members of the Public should provide at least 24 hours’ notice of presenting a deputation.  

Due to the current covid-19 restrictions, Members of the Public may submit written questions to the Committee.

Questions should be emailed to governance.planning@kirklees.gov.uk no later than 10.00 am on 6 October 2020. In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 51(10) any person may submit a maximum of 4 written questions.
