arrangements for developing and finally approving the Local
Development Framework (LDF) documents, and to proposed amendments
to that process in order to streamline it whilst maintaining
appropriate opportunities for members to be consulted and to
contribute to the LDF preparation and approval process.

Committee, and the Environment and Prosperity Scrutiny Committee,
had considered the report on 2 and 14 September respectively, and
their recommendations to Cabinet were circulated and
noted.

and the recommendations of the Strategic Planning Board, the
Sustainable Communities and the Environment and Prosperity Scrutiny
Committees concerning the revised procedures, be noted.
-
That Council be recommended to approve the revised
procedures for approving the LDF documents as set out in Appendix 2
of the report.
-
That Council be recommended to agree any necessary
authority for the Borough Solicitor to make any necessary and
consequential amendments to the Constitution including additions to
the terms of reference of Strategic Planning Board.
