the power to call up applications that are ordinarily dealt with by
planning officers, to be considered and determined by the Area
Committee. Members of the public also have the opportunity to

application for a total of 3 minutes. One person will be permitted
to address the Area Committee for 3 minutes in objection to the
application and one person for 3 minutes in support of the
