Issue - decisions

The Committee received and considered a schedule of planning applications received from West Oxfordshire District Council.

RESOLVED:        

That the comments, as per the attached schedule, be forwarded to West Oxfordshire District Council.

Minute note: Due to comments made by a member of the public questioning the need for applicant names to be listed with planning applications on the Town Council’s agenda, it was agreed outside of the meeting that applicant names should no longer be published for safeguarding purposes.

There is no legal requirement to advertise names as applications are considered on material planning concerns only. Officers would provide a separate list to members who should still declare non-pecuniary interests if the applicants were known to them.
