Without SAB/SM/mins/180817/Page 2 of 15/310817 4 such swift action there could have been a real tragedy. The family involved did not wish to be exposed to publicity and their wishes should be respected. The incident highlighted the need for safety in the Broads as well as the stark reminder that it was essential for people on the water to wear life jackets. Members agreed that the response from the staff was worthy of an award and the Chairman of the Authority had nominated him for the National Parks UK Hero Award. It was suggested that a nomination for a local award would also be appropriate and this would be put forward. (2) The Openness of Local Government Bodies Regulations The Press correspondent indicated that he intended to record proceedings. The Chairman gave notice that the Authority would be recording this meeting following the decision by the full Authority on 27 January 2017 to record all its public meetings on a trial basis. The copyright remained with the Authority and the recording was a means of increasing transparency and openness as well as to help with the accuracy of the minutes. The minutes would remain as a matter of record. If a member of the public wished to have access to the recording they should contact the Monitoring Officer. (3) Housing White Paper: Planning Fees. The Chairman reminded members that at the Authority meeting on 24 March 2017 the Government’s proposal as part of the Housing White Paper to increase planning fees by 20% was discussed and the Authority indicated that it would accept this, subject to the increase being spent specifically on Planning and with special reference to enforcement. The increase was intended to come into effect in July 2017. However, this had been deferred due to the election. The Government was proposing to look at this after the summer recess. The Authority expects to hear more in the Autumn and Members would be updated in due course. (4) Code of Conduct for Planning Committee Members and Officers (Revised) The Chairman reminded members that the Authority had adopted a revised Code of Conduct for Planning Committee Members and Officers at its meeting on 28 July 2017and this was now in effect. All Committee Members will have received a copy and provided their signature in agreement to abide by the code.
