Minutes: In attendance for this item was the applicant, Mr. Peter Hopkinson, and his son, Mr. Peter Luke Hopkinson.
The Chair introduced the item and welcomed those present.
The Legal Officer explained it had been brought to the attention of the Council on Tuesday, 27th August that the objectors listed in the Report had not been safely notified by 10 working days of the hearing takin place.
One objector had subsequently contacted the Council wishing to attend the hearing. The other objector had not.
Regulation 32 of the legislation stated “the authority shall, if it considers that any person may have been prejudiced as a result of the irregularity, take such steps as it thinks fit to cure the irregularity before reaching its determination”.
Therefore, Members needed to consider whether to continue the hearing or adjourn to prevent prejudice towards the objectors.
The Chair stated, to prevent prejudice, it would be appropriate to adjourn the hearing to enable the 10 working days necessary to inform the objectors.
The Legal Officer noted, if the objectors were not present at the rescheduled hearing following safe notification, that hearing would proceed.
Apologies were expressed for the hearing to be adjourned, and the Chair thanked all those for attending.
Moved by Councillor Emma Stevenson and seconded by Councillor Amanda Davis RESOLVED that the hearing be adjourned and a new hearing takes place.
