In Attendance Olive O’Sullivan - Town Clerk and Natalia Gorman - Administrative Officer and Cllr S Ward (non- voting observer).

There were two members of the public and no press present.

The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting and invited questions or comments from the public. Tony Willis, a resident of Vesey ward spoke to Committee regarding planning application 73 2017/07126/PA. Mr. Willis is a wheelchair user and advised Committee that the measurements in the application for the two proposed disabled toilets do not meet the measurements required by building regulations. Mike Hartwell, a resident of Trinity Ward asked for an update on Mode Shifts Stars and the benefit of spending money on increasing pedestrian safety around schools. The Town Clerk advised Mr. Hartwell that schools in Vesey ward have all received their Mode Star boxes and that 28 parking tickets were issued before the end of summer term. All other schools will receive their parking boxes in September 2017. The Town Clerk also advised that a meeting was scheduled with the City Council Parking and the Highways engineers to discuss enforcement of traffic regulations around schools.

20 Apologies For Absence The Clerk had received apologies from Cllrs L Allen & P Long. Resolved to accept the apologies received.

21 Declarations of Interest None to report.

22 Minutes of Last Meeting Resolved that the minutes of the meeting of Planning & Highways Committee Meeting held on Tuesday 1st August 2017 be signed as a true record of the meeting.

(ii) Schedules of Planning Applications Decisions Nine applications were refused when Sutton Coldfield Town Council had no objections, two in Four Oaks Ward, four in Trinity Ward and three in Vesey Ward. The nine rejected applications were rejected due to specific breaches of various building codes that Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council do not have resources or the intention to verify, as such codes are checked by Birmingham City Council planners.

Resolved that Committee note the decisions.
