Review of Hykeham Planning Committee Terms of Reference – Cllr Whittaker (SH)
The Committee reviewed items 1 and 2 of its Terms of Reference (TORs): -
1. Cllr Whittaker asked Members to consider changing the name of the committee to clearly identify that it is a joint committee of the Town and Parish Councils. It was RESOLVED that the committee name be changed to ‘The Joint North and South Hykeham Planning Committee. This resolution would now be taken to both Councils for consideration to adopt the change.
2. The membership of the committee, in the TORs, is set at a maximum of 8 Cllrs from NHTC and 4 Cllrs from SHPC; current membership is four from each council. Cllr Whittaker proposed that the committee membership be changed to equal numbers of membership from both councils, with the maximum set at four Cllrs from each council. Some Members felt that this would unfairly restrict NHTC from representing its larger electorate, adding that that the set membership had worked positively for the committee since its conception. As there was no seconder for the proposal, no vote could be taken. This matter would be presented separately to each council for further consideration.
13-21.8
Neighbourhood plan issues (standing item)
Members were advised that the review of the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan may not be completed before 2022/23. On this basis, this item would be removed from future agendas until such time as the review was concluded.
The meeting closed at 7.55pm.
