ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED/REJECTED:

As set out in the report.

DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST:

None.

DISCUSSION:

A non Cabinet member disputed the three appointments to the Forest Lodge Farm Quarry Liaison Panel being made to members from Wards in the South Waterside.  He felt that the ward members for Hythe South should be appointed to the Panel due to the location of the Quarry.

The Leader responded and confirmed that the appointments would be considered as per the recommendation in the report, however she requested officers to investigate this matter further with Hampshire County Council.  The Service Manager for Democratic Services further clarified that he had written to the County Council about the appointments and that he was unaware of any changes to the outside body since the previous appointments had been made in 2019.  It could however be reconsidered if there was a change.
