Decision details

Cabinet considered the recommendation from the Local Plan Task Group to approve the Consultation Response Document for publication.

The Consultation Response Document summarised the representations to the Preferred Options consultation held between November 2019 and January 2020 and included officer responses to the comments made. The Document represented a rearward view by setting out the reasons why policies were drafted and sites selected in the manner agreed upon at the time of the consultation. It does not make any decisions on the future direction of the Local Plan and the sites that will or will not be selected to progress to the next stage.

To reflect some of the comments of the Task Group a section had been added to set out the purpose of the document and explain that it would be for the Task Group to develop the Local Plan in light of the responses to the consultation.

Resolved to approve publication of the Consultation Response Document.
