Minutes:

Prior to the report’s introduction Ms Kate Hammond addressed the Committee on behalf of the Save Our Heathlands Action Group.

 

The Director of Regeneration and Place introduced the report, reiterating the Council’s continued work with Homes England. The options agreements between Homes England and the principal landowners would be signed imminently.

 

A further submission to the Local Planning Authority had been submitted that included further information on the increased employment opportunities, possibility of a secondary school, business case for a railway station and plans for the long-term management of the community site, as part of the proposal.

 

If the proposal continued to be included within the Local Plan Review an engagement programme and the second stage of work on the business case for the railway station would be commissioned.

 

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
