Area Committee Budget Allocations
Minutes:
The Committee considered the recommendations in the report. Officers introduced the report and provided an overview of the applications and assessments process.
The Chairman clarified that the report contained some misleading text in that not all Councillors listed as ‘sponsors’ of applications were formal sponsors. It was noted that legal advice had been received to confirm that all members have the right to vote on all of the applications, regardless of their status as a sponsor.
The Committee considered each application in turn. The Chairman introduced each application and invited discussion by the Committee. Where there were outstanding matters which required clarification, committee members asked questions of applicants present in the meeting, and responses were provided.
Following consideration of each of the applications the Committee
