WEALDEN DISTRICT COUNCIL have announced that it is now possible for members of the public to speak remotely at Planning Committee if they wish. This is the link to a short video introducing the changes https://youtu.be/VK9IjLXwFyY. Wealden District Council have created a new page on the council’s website to explain the process for members of the public which can be viewed at https://www.wealden.gov.uk/.../speaking-at-planning.../
Members of the public wishing to speak at Planning Committee will be directed to this page in the first instance. In summary: Members of the public need to register to speak in the normal way, the difference is that they now have the option to register to speak in person or online.
Online speakers will be sent instructions, but the onus is on the speaker to ensure they have the technical ability to join the meeting remotely, Wealden District Council are unable to offer individual IT support. Democratic Services at Wealden District Council will manage online speakers during the meeting; they will have the ability to disable cameras and microphones until it is time for the speakers to address the committee. Online speakers will have the same rights and responsibilities as in-person speakers. These changes will make Planning Committee meetings more accessible to everyone.
