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?
No items were transferred.
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.
In accordance with Part 2 Regulation 8(4) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2015, the Committee by simple majority may change the order of any of the items listed on the agenda, but in the case of planning items they must still be considered sequentially – in other words they still have to be dealt with as a single group on the agenda.
Where deputations are to be received in respect to planning items, past practice has been to move consideration of these items to the beginning of the meeting.
RECOMMENDATION

|
Question: |
There appears to be a culture of build it and worry about the DA later – can the Director advise if it is possible to apply an administration fee for processing a retrospective DA in addition to what is applied?
Could the administrative fee be of a significant size to start to pull back the culture of retrospective DA. Ie: a % of the value of the application in question?
Can there be flexibility with the application of the fee – i.e. repeat offenders, builders and those experienced with the process be charged an additional fee for seeking retrospective approval?

Answer: |
The Director took the question on notice. |
