Issue - meetings

To consider the Cheshire East Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2009/10.

Consideration was given to the above report.

In respect of paragraph 1.8 of the report it was suggested that the word ‘pipeline’ in the last sentence be revisited as concerns were raised that this implied there were proposals to re-develop Crewe town centre in the near future and Members considered this was not the case as the developers allocated to work on redeveloping the town centre had gone- into administration.

Concerns were also raised that the data relating to waste was two years out of date.  It was requested that the data submitted to the Portfolio Holder be as up to date as possible.

Officers reported that a number of staff had been trained on the Building for Design Assessments.  Members welcomed this and suggested this information be included within the report.

In respect of paragraph 1.4 of the report, it was requested that the figures also refer to the number of houses that would need to be built per annum in order to meet the 5 year supply requirement rather than just focusing on the total figure of houses that would need to be built over the same period.

RESOLVED

That the Strategic Planning Board recommends that the Portfolio Holder approves the Annual Monitoring Report 2009/2010 subject to the inclusion of up-to-date amended waste figures.
