Report of the Head of Planning and Infrastructure

The Planning Policy Team Manager presented the report to Members.

Councillor J Legrys raised concerns that the development at Shepshed could become a catalyst for development in the surrounding areas, and asked what the Council was doing to protect the boundary on the A512 corridors.  The Planning Policy Team Manager reported that Charnwood Borough Council could build up to the boundary but not across it and the area was protected as it was designated.  He added that there was also an agreed position with Charnwood Borough Council on the Charnwood Forest.

It was moved by Councillor J Legrys, seconded by Councillor J Hoult and

RESOLVED THAT:

(I)        Charnwood Borough Council be thanked for consulting this Council on its emerging Local Plan.

(II)       The recommendations detailed at paragraphs 2.3, 2.10 – 2.11, 2.16 – 2.17. 2.26 – 2.28 and 2.31 of the report be agreed as the District Council’s response to the Draft Charnwood Local Plan.
