Disclosure of interests
Members are asked to disclose any interests in matters for consideration at the meeting Minutes: No disclosure of interests were disclosed.
A query was raised on why a Ward Councillor was no longer permitted to substitute for this meeting.
It was confirmed that advice had been sought from the Monitoring Officer. The Ward Councillor could not take part in debate or vote due to a previously declared pre-determined position, meaning there was a prejudicial interest on the proposals.
One Member clarified that the Committee were not deciding and were commenting on an application. It was highlighted that on a previous, similar application, Members were advised that they may be pre-determined due to a decision not being made.
Clarification was sought on the difference between pre-determined and pre-inclined.
The Assistant Director of Planning explained the difference between them.

Following questions from public speakers, the Assistant Director of Planning and the Principal Planning Officer clarified: · That the Council had sought legal advice in relation to the 650 homes mentioned and this was a political decision and not for the Planning Committee to discuss. These homes were part of the forthcoming housing land supply for the plan period, but did not form part of the Council’s current 5 year housing land supply. · That the completion of a Section 106 agreement was one of the outstanding concerns with the current details, and that this specifically included appropriate contributions that would be payable to resolve infrastructure challenges within South Kesteven. · That the signed petition had been sent to Rutland County Council and reference had been made to the petition in the additional information reports. · That the Council were a consultee and not the decision-making body. Rutland County Council would need to address comments made by other governing bodies. A challenged decision would be through a judicial review by Rutland County Council. · The call-in process was a matter for the secretary of state and not for the Council’s determination. · That paragraph 5.13.7 of the report related to transport assessment in terms of overall vehicle movements and the second part of the paragraph identified modelling work that had been done would identify that the A1 Northbound off slip road and the A606 junction would be operating over capacity as a part of the current development and therefore mitigation was required.
