Meanwhile changes to the process of determining planning applications will also be made.
Any applications which are considered to be a “major development” will be determined by the planning committee, rather than under delegated powers which they can be at present.
But decisions on more minor and householder applications should not be made by the planning committee under the revised scheme.
At a meeting on Tuesday, Independent group leader Cllr Kevin Etheridge raised concern that more decisions would be made under delegated powers under the changes.
Cllr Etheridge called for a decision on the changes to be deferred, and asked for a working group of cross-party councillors to be set up to further assess the issue.
