Issue - meetings

The Committee welcomed the additional summary provided to the minutes; Members noted the decisions and agreed the minutes of previous Licensing Sub-Committee hearings as correct records.

Members also requested that the Part 2 decision summary and minutes be bound separately so Members could use them more easily for future reference.

RESOLVED:

That the Committee, with the agreement of Members present at the following Sub-Committees that they are a correct record, ratify the minutes of the following meetings: 22 January 2019, 4 February 2019, 21 February 2019, 4 March 2019 and 16 April 2019.

This item was considered privately in Part II as it contained restricted minutes for approval, which included information revealing the identify of individuals and information relating to action taken or to be taken in connection with the prevention, investigation or prosecution of crime. That the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it (exempt information under paragraphs 2 & 7 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government [Access to Information] Act 1985 as amended).

The Committee agreed to update the usual report presented on this item to include a commentary on each application in order to provide a useful summary and salient points for wider Member knowledge or consideration. Subject to a minor change, the Committee noted the decisions and agreed the minutes of previous Licensing Sub-Committee hearings as correct records.
