Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development introduced the report, and stated that the Council had recently received a response from the Planning Inspectorate arising from the ongoing Local Plan Review; as the Council was discussing a variety of matters with Kent County Council (KCC), the Cabinet Member felt that further time was needed to review the letter’s contents before submitting a response to KCC. KCC had confirmed that a response could be submitted at a later date.
The Committee expressed support for deferring the matter until the next meeting. During the discussion comments were raised in relation to the use of Policy of CSW3 in relation to waste services, and the impacts on the natural environment, including woodland and biodiversity.
In response, the Cabinet Member for Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development noted the comments raised with the response to be reviewed.
RESOLVED: That consideration of the item be deferred to the next meeting.
