Issue - meetings

Prior to the report’s introduction, Mr Peter Titchener addressed the Committee.

The Strategic Planning Manager introduced the report and stated that the report on the main modifications arising from the Regulation 19 ‘draft for submission’ documents public consultation would be presented to the Committee on 21 March 2022.

The processing and analysis of the representations submitted continued; the Lidsing Garden Community proposal had currently received the highest number of representations, with a large number received for the Heathlands Garden Community proposal alongside those for the Invicta Barracks site as carried forward from the 2017 adopted Local Plan (LP). The comments made within the representations, such as the effects to the local landscapes of the proposals, were outlined. Technical work continued in relation to those proposals to provide reassurance to the Inspector following the LP’s submission and to ensure compliance to the Regulation 19 policies that required such work to be conducted in the production of Supplementary Planning Documents.

It was likely that additional Statements of Common Ground would be presented to the Committee prior to the LPs submission. Further transport work may also be available at the time of submission.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
