The Planning Committee is asked to agree to the suspension of Council Procedure Rules 15.1 and 15.6(a) for the committee meeting. This facilitates an open debate within the committee on the planning merits of the application without the need to have a proposal or amendment moved and seconded first. Councillors are reminded that at the end of the debate the Chair will ask for a proposal to be moved and seconded. Any alternative motion to this which is proposed and seconded will be considered as an amendment. Councillors who wish to propose a motion against the recommendations of the officers should ensure that they give valid planning reasons for doing so.
