The Strategic Planning Manager introduced the report and stated that the Local Plan Review (LPR) documentation had been submitted to the Planning Inspectorate on 31 March 2022. Acknowledgement of the documents’ receipt had been received.

The process to be undertaken by the Inspectorate in independently examining the LPR was briefly outlined, with the subsequent ‘Matters, Issues and Questions’ likely to be received from May 2022. The topics covered within those would usually act as a good indication of which topics within the LPR would receive particular attention during its examination.

A Programme Officer had been appointed to facilitate the process between the Council and the Inspectorate, and was the same officer appointed following the adopted Local Plan’s submission.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
