Councillor Barnard made the following statement:

At the last planning committee meeting I let my passion and frustration get the better of me and on a number of occasions I showed a lack of respect to the chair and therefore the committee as a whole. I have subsequently reviewed the recording of the meeting and reflected on my conduct.

I have also since participated in some follow up training with regards to the conduct of planning committee and consequently will ensure I follow due process in a courteous manner.

In conclusion I therefore offer a full and unconditional public apology to the chair and members of the committee.
