The report of the Interim Planning Policy Team Manager.

The Interim Planning Policy Team Manager presented the report.

During discussion, members supported the collaborative working that was to take place between authorities. They also noted the complexity of the document and suggested the public would have benefitted from a basic summary so they were given a better understanding of the document prior to consultation.

Councillor J Legrys moved the recommendations on page 25 of the Additional Papers subject to the condition that the public were provided with a basic summary of the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) prior to consultation. It was seconded by Councillor R Morris and

RESOLVED THAT:

I)       A minimum four week consultation on the draft East Midlands Freeport Contributions Supplementary Planning Document (Appendix A) be agreed to be undertaken; and

II)       Authority be delegated to the Strategic Director of Place to agree any minor modifications to the final consultation draft Supplementary Planning Document prior to consultation commencing.
