Minutes:
The Committee considered the Part II report

Maidstone.
Concerns were raised regarding the indefinite
wording of the report, in particular to paragraphs 2.2 and
2.8. A request was made for the words
“where possible” in paragraph 2.2 to be removed, and
the word ‘”some” removed from paragraph 2.8 and
the words “could be” in paragraph 2.8 replaced with
“will be”. It was requested
that the concerns be clearly minuted so that the follow up report
from the Head of Housing and Communities could make clear the
schemes provision for parking and open space.
