ANY OTHER BUSINESS Section 100B(4)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972, requires that the permission of the Chairman be obtained, after prior notice to the Chief Executive, before urgent business not specified in the agenda (including a supplementary agenda of which the statutory period of notice has been given) may be transacted. Additional documents: Minutes: It was noted that there was no other urgent business for consideration by the Sub-Committee.
The Chairman commented that the Council had a policy for requiring new houses to have an electric car charging point, and felt that the Council should also require an extra tree to be planted for each new house built as well.
Cllr J Philip reminded the Sub-Committee that the requirement for electric car charging points was in the submission version of the Local Plan, but there was not a similar policy included for the planting of trees and therefore this could not be insisted upon.
Cllr C McCredie highlighted that Essex County Council had an initiative to encourage the planting of more trees across the county. |
