Agenda and minutes

No apologies for absence

To receive notice of any urgent business which the Chairman considers should be dealt with at the meeting as a matter of urgency by virtue of Section 100B(4)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972.

There was one item of urgent business which the Chairman considered should be dealt with as a matter of urgency relating to a play area project in Ampleforth.

The reason for urgency was that, due to a technical error, the Council has been asked by the applicant to reconsider the % intervention rate for the project, although still the same amount of S106 grant awarded in October 2017.
