Councillor Nigel Mason as Chair proposed to approve the Minutes from 17 July 2025 and Councillor Martin Prescott seconded.
In response to a point raised by Councillor Caroline McDonnell, the Chair agreed to consider the Minutes separately, as not all Members were present at both meetings.
The following Members made comments on the Minutes of 17 July 2025:
· Councillor Martin Prescott
· Councillor Bryony May
The following comments were made:
· Whether there should be reference in the Reasons for Decision regarding the deferral of application 23/01552/OP to consider specifically the keeping open of Swangleys Lane.
· On page 8, in the responses of the Development and Conservation Manager, it should say ‘surface water flooding’ rather than ‘storm surge flooding’.
In response to comments, the Development and Conservation Manager confirmed that reference to ‘surface water flooding’ was correct.
In response to comments, the Chair advised that the reason provided for the deferral was open ended purposefully, as keeping Swangleys Lane open was just one option to be considered alongside other options. The Chair advised that he would not allow this amendment, to ensure all options were able to be considered.
Having been proposed and seconded and, following a vote, it was:
RESOLVED: That the Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on 17 July 2025 be approved, as amended, as a true record of the proceedings and be signed by the Chair.
