Extraordinary Planning Committee meeting on Monday 27 April postponed

“It is deeply disappointing that the Extraordinary Planning meeting for the proposed solar farm at Foxholes Farm near Norwell will no longer take place on Monday.

“Unfortunately, due to an internal error, letters notifying all respondents to the meeting were given the incorrect date. Although the error was rectified on Thursday, we recognise that there is a risk some members of the public might have missed the clarification.

“I would not want to prevent someone from being able to share their view because of an incorrect date, which is why I’ve agreed that the meeting will now take place during the Thursday 7 May Planning Committee.

“This is an error that should not have happened and we’re putting measures in place to make sure it does not happen again.

“We recognise the importance of transparency and fairness in the determination of all planning applications, and it is important to us that no one is placed at a disadvantage.

“We apologise for any inconvenience this error may have caused.”

Due to the forthcoming May Bank Holiday, the next Committee Agenda is due to be published on Tuesday 28 April. Respondents will receive a new letter with correct details on the Committee meeting and how to register to speak.
