Have Your Say(Hybrid Planning Meetings)
At meetings of the Planning Committee, members of the public may make representations to the Committee members. This can be made either in person at the meeting or by joining the meeting remotely and addressing the Council via Zoom. These Have Your Say! arrangements will allow for one person to make representations in opposition and one person to make representations in support of each planning application. Each representation may be no longer than three minutes(500 words). Members of the public wishing to address the Committee either in person or remotely need to register their wish to address the meeting by e-mailing
democratic.services@colchester.gov.uk by 12.00 noon on the working day before the meeting date. In addition for those who wish to address the committee online we advise that a written copy of the representation be supplied for use in the event of unforeseen technical difficulties preventing participation at the meeting itself.
These speaking arrangements do not apply to councillors who are not members of the Committee who may make representations either via Zoom or at the meeting, these should be no longer than five minutes each.
The Councillors will be asked to confirm that the minutes of the meeting held on 1 April 2021 are a correct record.
