Section 362 Size and composition of committees to exercise functionsI1

Regulations may impose requirements relating to the size and composition of a committee or sub-committee by which a relevant function of a planning authority is to be exercised.

A planning authority may not arrange for a relevant function of the authority to be exercised by a committee or sub-committee of the authority that fails to satisfy a requirement of regulations under this section.

If a committee or sub-committee exercising a relevant function fails to satisfy such a requirement, paragraph 43 of Schedule 12 to the Local Government Act (validity of proceedings not affected by vacancies etc.) does not apply in relation to the failure.
