Report of the Head of Regeneration and Housing

Minutes:

The Cabinet considered the report of the Head of Regeneration and Housing which provided details of proposals to seek delegated powers for the Cabinet Member for Planning and Building Control to agree minor proposed changes to the submitted Local Plan during the examination hearings. 

 

Decision Made:

 

That the Council be recommended to approve that the Cabinet Member for Planning and Building Control be given delegated powers to agree minor proposed changes to the submitted Local Plan during the examination hearings.

 

Reasons for Decision:

 

To seek delegated powers to the Cabinet Member to agree minor proposed changes to the draft Local Plan during the examination hearings. This would mean that only major proposed modifications would have to be reported to full Council.

 

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:

 

The alternative would be to seek Council approval to consider all proposed changes to the draft Plan. This would require a significant number of very minor changes to be reported to Council which would not have any bearing on the strategy or intent of the Plan.
