Minutes:
The Council considered the recommendation made to it by the Cabinet at its meeting on Tuesday 9 January 2018, as set out on the face of the Council agenda, the details in respect of which were contained in the Cabinet report (pages 32 to 34), its two appendices in the Cabinet agenda supplement (pages 96 to 112) and the replacement page 101 in appendix 1 to agenda report circulated with the Cabinet second agenda supplement.
Mrs Taylor (Cabinet Member for Planning Services) formally moved the Cabinet’s recommendations and this was seconded by Mrs Lintill (Cabinet Member for Community Services).
Mrs Taylor summarised the contents of the report by explaining the nature and purpose of the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) and the minor amendments made to the SCI as a result of a public consultation in 2017. She drew attention to the substituted page 101 in appendix 1 which was circulated in the Cabinet second agenda supplement.
Mrs Taylor responded to members’ questions and comments on points of detail with respect to (a) the fact that later in 2018 CDC would have a task and finish group (TFG) consider current consultation processes should not hinder CDC from complying now with the statutory requirement to have an up-to-date SCI, although account would be taken of any recommendations by the TFG for any future SCI consultation; and (b) the second sentence in the fifth para in appendix 1 on page 104 of the agenda supplement would be amended by the insertion of the words ‘being examined’ to clarify which ‘document’ was meant.
Decision
On a show of hands members voted in favour of the Cabinet’s recommendation with none against and no abstentions.
The Cabinet’s recommendation was, therefore, carried.
RESOLVED
That the Statement of Community Involvement, with (a) the diagram on page 101 of appendix 1 being replaced by the amended version in the second agenda supplement and (b) the addition of the words ‘being examined’ at the end of the second sentence of the fifth para on page 104 of appendix 1, be adopted.
[Note At the end of this item there was a short adjournment of the Council meeting between 15:51 and 15:59]
