As at 2 October 2026, according to Plota’s analysis of Newcastle upon Tyne’s published minutes, Councillor Michael Fitzpatrick attended 3 of the 5 planning committee meetings whose minutes list them, from June 2026 to October 2026. Each member's vote is recorded on 1 decision at those meetings: Fitzpatrick voted for the resolution on it. On 1 of those votes the officers’ recommendation is known, and none went against it. On 1 other decision the minutes record no vote against, so Fitzpatrick is counted as agreeing; it is left out of the shares below.

Voting record
Votes by quarter
Not drawn: 1 recorded vote in one quarter is too few to show a pattern over time.
Against officer advice
Not drawn: 1 recorded vote with a known officers’ recommendation is too few to compare.
Agreement with other members
Not drawn: the minutes record no divided vote of this councillor by name. On a unanimous vote every member agrees, so it says nothing about agreement.
Attendance
60%
3 of 5 meetings whose minutes list them; apologies for 2.
The typical member of this committee attended 80% (the median of 15 members listed at 5 or more meetings).

Minutes, 4 Sep 2026, Hadrian House Higham Place, Newcastle Upon Tyne
How this is worked out
Everything here is read from Newcastle upon Tyne’s published planning committee minutes, 15 meetings from July 2025 to October 2026. A councillor is matched across meetings by the council’s own member number where it has one, otherwise by full name.
Each vote shows how it is known. Named in the minutes: the minutes, or the council’s own recorded vote, list each member with their vote. From the count and the names: the minutes give the numbers and name the members in the minority, and every member present is known. All members present in favour: the minutes say every member voted for it and the members present are known. No vote against recorded: the minutes record the decision with no vote against, no abstention and no count, at a council whose minutes print a divided vote when there is one, so each member present is counted for. Unanimous vote: the minutes call the decision unanimous, or give a count with no one against and no one abstaining, and each member present is counted for. From the meeting recording: the vote was heard on the council’s recording of the meeting and closes exactly with the members present. Where none of these holds, the vote is left as “Not recorded” and is not counted.
Votes are on the resolution the committee passed, so a vote for is a vote with the majority. A vote is a decision on the application in front of the committee, not a statement of the councillor’s views. A percentage is shown only with five or more votes, decisions or meetings behind it.
