Minutes:
The Principal Planning Policy Officer presented the report.
A discussion was had during which several questions of clarity were addressed by the planning policy officers. Members expressed concern over whether Oadby and Wigston Borough Council can meet their own housing need and what implications this would have on this process and the Local Plan.
The Principal Planning Policy Officer responded that, in the event their housing needs were not met, Oadby and Wigston Borough Council would have to have justified their unmet need.
Members were thanked for their comments which were to be considered by Council at their meeting on 12 May 2026.
