Decision details

Cabinet was requested to consider a proposed consultation response to the Secretary of State’s Proposed Changes to the Draft Regional Spatial Strategy, submitted by the North West Regional Assembly, on which it was considered appropriate for the Shadow Authority to make its own response on issues likely to be of significance to the new Local Authority.

In considering its response Cabinet asked for the response set out in the report to be expanded to emphasise the future position and role of Cheshire East Council particularly in relation to the existing City Regions, and in respect of spatial priorities and district housing figures.  As the response needed to be submitted by 23 May 2008 it was agreed that the final wording be delegated to the Block Lead for Places in consultation with the Leader of the Council. 

RESOLVED

For the reasons set out in the report and as now given: -

That approval be given to the response set out in the report to be expanded to take into account the views of the Cabinet, and that the final wording of the response be delegated to the Block Lead for People and Places, in consultation with the Leader of the Council.
