The minutes of the Planning Committee meetings held on 6^th November 2025 and 4^th December 2025, were received for Members’ consideration.

With regards to the minutes of the meeting held on 4^th December 2025, Councillor M. Marshall asked for the following amendments: -

Page 25, Minute No. 57/25, after paragraph 5, insert:-

‘Members responded that location was a material consideration in a decision to award PIP and referred to the landscape assessment that had already been undertaken which pointed to the unsuitability for residential development of this location.’

Page 26, Minute No. 57/25, after paragraph 7, insert:-

‘Members responded that there was no Grey Belt classification under the current NPPF and the land remained Green Belt. The land could be considered Grey Belt if it did not make a strong contribution to Green Belt purposes and this was for Members to determine. After some deliberation officers agreed that this was a matter for determination by Members.’ 

RESOLVED that, subject to the amendments, as detailed in the preamble above that the minutes of the Planning Committee meetings held on 6^th November 2025 and 4^th December 2025, be approved as correct records.
