Chairman's Announcements

If any

Minutes:

 

The Chairman reminded Councillors and members of the public to silence their mobile phones for the duration of the meeting.

 

The Chairman advised the Councillors and members of the public that the agenda would be considered in order with no variation.

 

Subject to declarable interests all Members of the Committee have the right to vote on all matters of business considered by the Committee.

 

Rule No. 13.5.5 of the Constitution states that Members do not vote or take part in the meeting’s discussions on a proposal unless they have been present to hear the entire debate, including the officer’s introduction to the matter.

 

The Chairman, under Part E3 paragraph 9.2 has a second or casting vote should there be equal numbers of votes for and against an item.  This provision makes it quite clear that the Chairman is entitled to vote on any item of business.  There is no restriction or limitation on how the second or casting vote should be exercised nor is there a requirement that the right be exercised at all.

 

The Chairman advised the Committee that a reply had been received from Government relating to the query on Gypsy and Traveller applications and appropriate access.  The Committee have requested that Andrew Davie write again to the Government asking that the Planning Inspectorate be provided with the same information.
