Decision – That the minutes of the virtual Planning Committee meeting held on 25 June 2020 be approved as a correct record for signature by the Chair.

Members are reminded of their responsibility to declare any pecuniary interest in respect of matters contained in this agenda.

If you have a pecuniary interest you must withdraw from the meeting. Normally you should leave before the business starts to be discussed. You do, however, have the same right to speak as a member of the public and may remain in the meeting to enable you to exercise that right and then leave immediately. In either case you must not seek to improperly influence a decision on the matter.

There were no declarations of interest received.
