Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to a report on the preferred option for the redevelopment of the former MG Rover works at Longbridge. The work undertaken since the previous meeting of the Working Party was noted particularly in relation to the extensive public consultation which had taken place which had resulted in the receipt of over 1000 responses.

The report gave a summary of the preferred option and this was set out in detail in the Preferred Options Longbridge Area Action Plan and the site plans. It was noted that the next step would be the undertaking of a statutory consultation which would be likely to commence on 21st February 2007 for a six week period.

RECOMMENDED: that the Preferred Options Longbridge Area Action Plan be approved and that the statutory public consultation be undertaken.
