Cllr Lintill introduced the item. She explained that usually a new Corporate Plan would be brought forward but following the pandemic it is proposed to seek a one year extension in order to develop a new set of priorities. She then outlined the three IPPD’s for 2020/21 projects that the Cabinet is requested to consider:

·         Terminus Road Land

·         2022 Year of Culture

·         Decarbonisation of CDC Buildings

Mrs McKay responded to questions related to the IPPD for Terminus Road Land. She explained that the initial work would look at the use of the land, taking into account the council’s Climate Emergency Action Plan. An options appraisal will then take place to consider the possible uses for the land. With regard to not using land to the south of the site she explained that this area was not in the council’s ownership.

Cllr Oakley was then invited to speak. He asked whether the Local Plan Review would be taken into account in relation to the IPPD for Terminus Road. Mrs McKay explained that it would be considered at the point it has reached at the time of the options appraisal.

In a vote the following recommendation and resolutions were made:
