The Chairman stated that, in his opinion, the update reports of the Head of Planning and Development should be taken as urgent items as they contained further information relating to the applications to be considered at the meeting.  The Chairman also drew the Committee’s attention to an exempt briefing note which had been prepared by the Head of Legal Partnership to assist Members and Officers when dealing with Gypsy and Traveller applications.  He explained that it would be necessary to exclude the public from the meeting if Members wished to discuss the contents of the briefing note.
