The purpose of the Planning Policy Committee is to
exercise the Council’s executive functions in relation to the
preparation and, where applicable, approval of planning policy and
neighbourhood planning documents.
Membership
The members of the Committee represent as far as
possible the political balance of the Council as a whole, but this
is not a counting committee for the purposes of establishing
political balance.
Membership shall consist of:
(a)
Three Executive Members
(b)
Six Non-Executive Members (3
Conservative, 2 Labour, 1 Liberal Democrat) to include the Chairs
of the Local and Strategic Planning Committees
As this is an Executive Committee only the
Executive members shall vote, but the aim of the Committee is to
try to establish broad consensus about the development of planning
policy.
