Agenda and minutes

There were no apologies received.

The minutes of the meeting from 20 April 2023 were confirmed and signed as an accurate record.

All Members are invited to declare at this point any interests they have in items appearing on this agenda, including the nature of those interests.

Cllr Burr gave a statement to the committee regarding her declaration of interest at the last meeting. She informed the committee that the legal advice she had privately received ahead of the last meeting, which informed her decision to stay in the meeting despite North Yorkshire Council’s legal position, was incorrect. She apologised and informed the committee she would leave the room for future declarations.

Cllr Goodrick declared that she had a personal non-prejudicial, non-pecuniary interest in item 6 as she knew residents due to being the division member for the area affected.

Report of the Assistant Director - Planning

It was recommended to the committee that this item be deferred to a future meeting. This is because of a third-party ownership claim that had arisen. The applicant will need to take the necessary steps to serve notice and complete certification in the application process before the item can be determined by the Committee. 

Cllr Taylor wanted it recorded that he was disappointed, following the site visit on the Monday, but could understand the reasons for deferral.
