Report of the Monitoring Officer |
Dispensation granted to all City of York Council Elected Members
Summary
To advise the Committee that the Monitoring Officer following consultation with the Chair of the Joint Standards Committee granted a dispensation to all City of York Councillors on 3rd September 2020, so as to enable them to attend and or participate in a meeting of the Customer & Corporate Services Scrutiny Management Committee on 16th September 2020.
Background
A special meeting of the Customer & Corporate Services Scrutiny Management Committee [hereafter CCSMC] on 16th September 2020, has been convened to enable a scrutiny debate on the recently published consultation documents issued by MHCLG, namely Changes to the Current Planning System, August 2020; and White Paper: Planning for the future, August 2020.
Some members of the CCSMC also sit on the Council’s Planning Committee and the Area Planning Committee and it was felt that by granting a dispensation to all councillors, all could positively express their views without any future risk of pre-determination.
