Mr Sam
Bailey, Democratic and Administration Services Manager, presented a report outlining the training
programme for the Committee. The reason a planning training
programme was being presented for approval was so the Policy and
Resources Committee were compliant with the requirements in the
constitution in regard to Planning Training if it needed to meet to
determine a planning application. The recommendation in the report
was for the Committee to replicate the training programme agreed by
Planning Committee, to ensure consistency of training across the
two Committees.
In
response to a question from a member of the Committee, Mr Bailey
confirmed the Planning Committee had not agreed their training
programme yet, but that it was due to be agreed at the Planning
Committee meeting on the following evening.
The
Committee felt it was important that, if the Planning Committee
failed to agree its training programme, there was a provision in
place to ensure that the Head of Planning and Development could
ensure appropriate training was provided to the Policy and
Resources Committee before it convened to exercise its function as
the planning referrals body.
RESOLVED:
That
the planning training programme for
members of Policy and Resources Committee for 2018/19 replicates
the mandatory training programme agreed by the Planning
Committee.
Voting: Unanimous
