Minutes:

All Members except Councillor Hemsley stated that they had been lobbied.

The Committee considered the report and the urgent update report of the Head of Planning and Development. In introducing the report, the Major Developments Officer said that the reference in paragraph 5.4 of his report to section 6.7 should read section 7.4 (Affordable Housing).

Councillor Taylor-Maggio of Langley Parish Council and Mr Hawkins, for the applicant, addressed the meeting.

During the discussion, the meeting was adjourned for a short period at the request of Officers to enable them to consider the appropriate deferral mechanism (i.e. paragraph 16 or paragraph 17 of the Local Code of Conduct for Councillors and Officers Dealing with Planning Matters). The Chairman joined the Officers for this discussion.

When the meeting reconvened, the Chairman responded to concerns expressed that he had been the only Member party to the Officers’ discussion. The Chairman explained that he had invited all other Members to remain with him, but he had been advised that this would not be appropriate for procedural reasons. A Member requested that details of the advice which had been given to the Chairman be circulated to all Members of the Committee, and the Chairman confirmed that this would be done.

The Vice-Chairman wished to corroborate the Chairman’s explanation of events.

RESOLVED: That consideration of this application be deferred to seek an urgent meeting with KCC Highways to resolve the outstanding highways issues.
