We are using hybrid meeting arrangements to give registered speakers the opportunity to either attend the meeting in person to give their views or to attend the meeting remotely via Zoom.  If you would like to attend the meeting remotely to speak you will be provided with a Zoom link to join the meeting.  We also ask that you provide a copy of your speech to governance.support@torbay.gov.uk, before 11 am on the day of the meeting, so that the Clerk will be able to continue to read out your speech if you lose connection or cannot be heard in the physical meeting.  Remote attendees who lose connection may still be able to follow the meeting via the live stream on the Council’s YouTube channel.

Councillors who are not members of the Planning Committee will also be able to join the meeting via Zoom and must use their raise hand function to declare any interests.

If Members consider that site visits are required on any of the applications they are requested to let Governance Support know by 5.00 p.m. on Wednesday, 9 September 2026.  Site visits will then take place prior to the meeting of the Committee at a time to be notified.

The Planning Officer will present the application and outline the recommendation.  Registered speakers will then be invited to address the Committee in the following order: those objecting to the application, Neighbourhood Forum representatives, non?Committee Councillors, and those in support, with each speaker allocated up to five minutes.

Members will then have the opportunity to ask questions of the Planning Officer before the Chair opens the item for debate.  At the conclusion of the debate, the Chair will seek a proposer and seconder, and the proposal must be stated in full, including any conditions or reasons. The Chair will then confirm with the Planning Officer whether a period of summing up is required.
