Issue - meetings

Members received a report on the progress of the Issues and Options stage of the Core Strategy preparation process. The Issues and Options Report had been published in June 2005, however, this was prior to more recent Government Guidance on key areas such as Planning and Climate Change, Biodiversity and Geological Conservation and revisions to the Regional Spatial Strategy. It was therefore proposed to carry out an additional stage of consultation and to put forward new issues for consideration in order to relaunch the Issues and Option Report. The consultation newsletter was submitted.

RESOLVED that the contents of the report be noted and that the newsletter form the basis for consultation on new issues/options shaping the Bromsgrove Core Strategy.
