Issue - meetings

The Board received a verbal report from the Portfolio Holder for Planning, Core Strategy and Regulatory Services on the Cabinet’s further response to the Planning Policy Task Group Report and Recommendations which had been further considered at its meeting on 4th July 2012.  It was understood that the Transformation process had affected the schedule for implementation of a number of the approved recommendations.

In terms of Recommendation 1(a), Councillor Taylor remained very keen for the Planning and Enforcement Team to take all the necessary and appropriate actions to ensure that all conditions attached to a planning application were being met, however he acknowledged the financial implications involved and confirmed that this recommendation would be discussed with the Head of Planning and Regeneration Services.

On behalf of the Board, the Chairman thanked the Portfolio Holder for his report.

RESOLVED that the report be noted and no further changes to the Task Group’s recommendations made.
