Note: The public speaking procedure is separate from and is not intended to replicate or replace the procedure for submitting a written representation on a planning application to the Planning Offices during the consultation period.

There were several public statements received relating to the applications considered by the Planning Committee. As per the Protocol for Public Speaking, the Democratic Officer read out the written statements before the Chairman invited those Ward Councillors who had requested to speak, to address the Committee.

To consider the planning applications as listed below.

See planning application reports circulated at 6a – 6c, as updated by the agenda addendum sheet to be published on Wednesday 23 September 2020.

Councillors are requested where possible to submit any technical questions on planning applications to the Case Officer at least 48 hours before the meeting to ensure this information can be provided at the meeting.

The running order in which planning applications will be considered will be as listed on this agenda sheet.

The Chairman retains discretion to propose an amendment to the running order at the meeting if it is considered expedient to do so.

Members will appreciate that the copy drawings attached to planning application reports are reduced from the applicants’ original and detail, in some cases, may be difficult to read. The submitted drawings can be viewed by using the relevant planning register for this meeting, online at:

The Chairman advised that due to ongoing technical issues affecting the Poole network today Officers are currently unable to gain remote access to the Poole systems. As a result of these technical issues the ability of Officers to present the two planning applications listed on the Agenda in the Poole area in accordance with the established protocol is hampered.

In the interests of consistency and ensuring Members deliberations on these two items is fully informed by information from all parties the decision has been taken to defer the two Poole planning applications to the next available scheduled Planning Committee on Thursday 15^th October 2020.

As the technical issues affecting the Poole network, are not impacting upon the Christchurch network, we are able to hear the item from Christchurch at 57 Bargates in the usual way.
