Report HPR2023/004

The Committee considered a report providing details of the proposed ‘Issues and Options’ Local Plan consultation.

In response to a question from a Member, the Head of Planning Policy and Strategy confirmed that the public consultation on the ‘Issues and Options’ Local Plan was likely to commence in Spring 2023.  In considering the example section provided at Appendix 1, a Member observed the challenge inherent to optimising the capacity of housing sites in the Borough while preserving the character of its communities. 

RESOLVED: That:

1)  Details of the proposed Local Plan ‘Issues and Options’ consultation be noted, including the example section provided at Appendix 1; and,

2)  It be noted that the final decision to approve the ‘Issues and Options’ draft for public consultation will be for the Director of Housing, Planning, Property and Regeneration, in discussion with the Portfolio Holder for Renewal, Recreation and Housing.
