To confirm the minutes of the Development Sub-Committee meeting held on 20 May 2024 as a correct record.

The Deputy Monitoring Officer provided the following statement regarding the minutes of the Development Sub-Committee held on 20 May 2024:

“At Development Sub-Committee on Monday 20 May 2024, it was reported that ‘The Group Head – Assets advised that this was a very focussed consultation with Ward Councillors and adjacent local residents that would be most affected.’ This statement referred to a meeting that was held in March 2024. The officers have clarified that one ward councillor had been invited to that meeting, but none attended.”
