Cllr Jordan Meade, Leader of the Opposition objected to the Minutes of the Planning Committee held on Wednesday 25 September 2024 being ratified and confirmed due to the accuracy of the minutes. It was felt that they were not a fair representation of the substantive points made at the meeting.

 

It was moved by Cllr Jordan Meade and seconded by Cllr Ejaz Aslam that a recorded vote be taken on the accuracy of the minutes.

 

In accordance with paragraph 19.4 of Annex 2.1 of the Council Procedure Rules, five Members demanded that a recorded vote be taken to request that the Minutes of the Planning Committee held on Wednesday 25 September 2024 were not ratified and confirmed due to the accuracy:-
