Minutes:

The Principal Planning Officer gave a presentation to the Committee which covered the following points:

 

·  The proposed modifications to the Local Plan had been made by the Inspector to ensure the plan was, in his view, ‘sound’ in Planning terms

 

·  The minor changes that had been made either provided an update to the plan since it was last published, or reflected consequential changes as a result of the main modifications

 

·  At this point the decision being made by the committee was whether to take this document to consultation or not. If the Committee chose not to accept these changes then the plan needed to be withdrawn

 

·  If the Committee agreed to take the suggested amendments to consultation, the scope and length of time allowed for the consultation needed to reflect the Regulation 19 Consultation.
