The consultation obligation in M18/M29 does not mandate consultation only by a committee meeting convened under M29; what matters is that consultation is fair and adequate. On the facts the applicant attended and participated in the resumed meeting, the District Councillors chose not to return and were subsequently invited to comment, hence the consultation was fair and the director's decision to approve five change-of-trade applications was lawful.
