The images and sound recording could be used for training purposes within the Council. The Chair had the discretion to terminate or suspend filming if it was his opinion that continuing to do so would prejudice the proceedings of the meeting. It was likely that recording cameras would capture the image of persons seated in the public gallery and that image would become part of the broadcast. Any views expressed by any speaker in the meeting were the speaker’s own and did not necessarily reflect the views of Staffordshire Moorlands District Council. b) Members of the Committee and Officers present were introduced by the Chair. c) The Chair requested that mobile phones be switched off or to silent. 40 MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING RESOLVED – That the Public Minutes of the meeting of the Planning Applications Committee held on 15 August 2019 be APPROVED as a correct record and signed by the Chair. 41 URGENT ITEMS, IF ANY.
