Regulation 15 of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015.
A Committee may close a part of a meeting to the public where a matter to be discussed falls within 15(2) of the above regulations.
In the event that the Committee transfer an item to the closed portion, the reasons for doing so should be stated.
Are there any items which should be transferred from this agenda to the closed portion of the agenda, or from the closed to the open portion of the agenda?
In accordance with the requirements of Part 2 Regulation 8(3) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Chief Executive Officer is to arrange the agenda so that the planning authority items are sequential.
