It was always the case - and I'm pretty sure still is - that councillors are not permitted to deliberate or vote on planning or licensing applications for their own ward. This approach is predicated on the assumption that local councillors would be more likely to receive improper financial approaches from applicants and developers. Ward councillors are permitted to address the committee, but not to vote. |
