The Strategic Planning Manager introduced the report and drew particular attention to the three ongoing workstreams as part of the Local Plan Review (LPR); the Main Modifications, Duty to Cooperate and Statements of Common Ground (SoCG) and the wider evidence base. The former would include changes proposed by the Local Planning Authority to accompany the LPRs’ submission, alongside the latest SoCG, to be considered at the Committee’s next meeting.

The wider evidence base would support the strategic proposals of the Heathlands and Lidsing Garden Communities and the Invicta Barracks site, and the production of the supporting supplementary planning documents. The updated evidence would include transport modelling runs. 

The submission of the Regulation 19 documents had been agreed by Council on 6 October 2021.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
