Report of the Strategic Director of Place
Presented by the Portfolio Holder for Planning & Infrastructure

Councillor Robert Ashman presented the report to Cabinet.

The report invited Cabinet to consider amendments to the Council’s adopted Statement of Community Involvement (February 2019) in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, and in other such circumstances that may arise when locations referenced in the Statement of Community Involvement are not available.

The Leader thanked Councillor Ashman and invited questions and comments from Members.  There were none.    

The recommendation as set out on page 103 of the agenda was moved by Councillor Ashman, seconded by Councillor Blunt and subsequently

RESOLVED THAT:

(1)    An addendum to the adopted Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) as set out in 4.1 of the report, to outline how the Council will consult in the event of    locations referenced in the SCI not being available, be agreed;

(2)    The Local Plan Committee be informed of the Cabinet’s decision.

Reason for decision:  In accordance with the Council’s Constitution, approval of changes to the Statement of Community Involvement falls within the remit of Cabinet.
