The Cabinet received and considered the agenda report and its appendix.   

This item was introduced by Mrs Taylor.  

Mr Allgrove was in attendance for this matter.

Mrs Taylor explained the nature and effect of an Article 4 Direction and the circumstances (para 3.3 of the report) which had necessitated an amendment to the Article 4 Directions approved in 2016. The procedure, which would not require a further public consultation, for publishing the revised Article 4 Directions was set out in sections 5 and 8 of the report. 

Mr Allgrove did not wish to add to Mrs Taylor’s introduction.
