Decision details

         Consideration was given to a report relating to a draft Local Development Scheme for Cheshire East and to consider any comments that Members of the Panel might wish to make to Cabinet when consideration was given to this matter.  The Cheshire East Draft Local Development Scheme was attached as an appendix to the report.

          In considering the report, Members of the Panel raised the following issues:

          (i)      The Portfolio Holder referred to paragraph 12 of the draft scheme and requested that the conclusions from the formal marking and ranking assessment of risk which had taken place, be included in the document.  This was agreed.

          (ii)     Reference was made to the new PPS12 and Regulations, which allowed Local Authorities to agree strategic sites in their core strategies and it was agreed that this should be made more explicit in the document.

          (iii)    It was noted that Congleton Borough Council would be considering this matter, at its Council meeting in October and would be making a representation on the document, in terms of the content of some of the plans, subject to Council approval.

          (iv)    It was noted that there were a number of typographical errors, which would be corrected.

          RESOLVED

          That Cabinet be recommended to agree the submission of the draft Local Development Scheme to GONW, subject to the above comments.
