The Head of Legal and Regulatory Services submitted a report, the purpose of which, was for the Development Control Committee to nominate and appoint a replacement Member to Councillor Tim Thomas on the Rights of Way Sub-Committee. It is further requested that this replacement be Councillor James Radcliffe, in order to maintain political balance on this particular body.

The Legal Officer confirmed to Members, that the above course of action was necessary, due to the fact that Councillor Thomas was no longer a Member of the Rights of Way Sub-Committee by virtue of him stepping down from the membership of the Development Control Committee. This necessitated a replacement Member onto both Development Control Committee (ie Councillor Radcliffe) and also the Rights of Way Sub-Committee.

RESOLVED:                    That approval be given for Councillor James Radcliffe to replace Councillor Tim Thomas as a Member of the Rights of Way Sub-Committee.
