Date: 26 February 2018 1 Planning Committee Guidance on conduct of business for planning applications, enforcement cases and other planning proposals 1. The reports are taken in the order of business on the agenda. 2. The officers present the report and recommendations and answer points raised by members of the committee. 3. The role of members of the planning committee is to make planning decisions openly, impartially, with sound judgement and for justifiable reasons in accordance with the statutory planning framework. 4. The following may address the committee (if they are present and wish to speak) for not more than 3 minutes each. (a) One representative (spokesperson) for any objectors. If there is more than one objector wishing to speak, the time is then divided within the 3-minute time slot. (b) The applicant or applicant’s agent. (c) One representative for any supporters (who live within 100 metres of the development site). (d) Ward councillor (spokesperson) from where the proposal is located. (e) The members of the committee will then debate the application and consider the recommendation. Note: Members of the committee may question those who speak only on matters relevant to the roles and functions of the planning committee that are outlined in the constitution and in accordance with the statutory planning framework. 5. If there are a number of people who are objecting to, or are in support of, an application or an enforcement of action, you are requested to identify a representative to address the committee. If more than one person wishes to speak, the 3-minute time allowance must be divided amongst those who wish to speak. Where you are unable to decide who is to speak in advance of the meeting, you are advised to meet with other objectors in the foyer of the council offices prior to the start of the meeting to identify a representative. If this is not possible, the chair will ask which objector(s) would like to speak at the point the actual item is being considered. 6. Speakers should lead the committee to subjects on which they would welcome further questioning. 7. Those people nominated to speak on behalf of objectors, supporters or applicants, as well as ward members, should sit on the front row of the public seating area. This is for ease of communication between the committee and the speaker, in case any issues need to be clarified later in the proceedings; it is not an opportunity to take part in the debate of the committee. 2 8. Each speaker should restrict their comments to the planning aspects of the proposal and should avoid repeating what is already in the report. The meeting is not a hearing where all participants present evidence to be examined by other participants. 9. This is a council committee meeting which is open to the public and there should be no interruptions from the audience. 10. No smoking is allowed at committee. 11. Members of the public are welcome to film, audio record, photograph, or tweet the public proceedings of the meeting; please be considerate towards other people in the room and take care not to disturb the proceedings. The arrangements at the meeting may be varied at the discretion of the chair.

CONFIRMATION OF VOTING MEMBERS The chair invited the legal officer to explain which councillors would be voting on items 7.1 1 Planning Committee - Tuesday 30 January 2018 4 and 7.2. The legal officer explained that as items 7.1 and 7.2 had been deferred from the meeting on 16 January 2018, only councillors who had sat on the committee at that meeting, would be discussing and voting on these items. He went on to clarify that this included Councillor Lorraine Lauder MBE. This was because although she had left the 16 January 2018 meeting at 1am, during the discussion around reasons for refusal, she had heard all the prior discussions. Following this, those members listed as present were confirmed as voting members for the meeting. 3. NOTIFICATION OF ANY ITEMS OF BUSINESS WHICH THE CHAIR DEEMS URGENT The chair informed the meeting that the supplemental agenda No.1 had been circulated before the meeting. This outlined possible reasons for refusal for item 7.1. Two additional documents had been tabled at the meeting: supplemental agenda No.2 and the members’ pack. 4. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS AND DISPENSATIONS The following councillors declared an interest in the item 7.3 Southwark Fire Station, 94 Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1 0EG; Grotto Place and Grotto Podiums Councillor Adele Morris, non-pecuniary, as she was a ward councillor and had heard from both applicants and residents, but had not expressed a view and approached the application with an open mind.
