A. PLANNING CALL-IN PROCEDURE

Motion on behalf of the Upminster and Cranham Residents’ Associations Group

This Council requests Governance Committee review the current Planning Call in procedure, with a view to enabling call-ins for applications which are recommended for refusal. To allow such call-ins would be a return to pre-2018 arrangements where ward members were able to contribute to planning decisions.

Following the changes to Havering Council’s planning system, as a result of a review by the Planning Advisory Service in 2017, this Council requests that a further review is commissioned to establish whether any amendment(s) are warranted. The outcome of this review will be reported to Governance Committee.

Following debate, the amendment on behalf of the Conservative Group was CARRIED by 27 votes to 17 with 7 abstentions (see division 1) and AGREED as the substantive motion by 28 votes to 21 with 2 abstentions (see division 2).
