Issue - meetings

            The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, Enterprise, Community and Resources which provided an overview of the next key document to be produced in Halton’s Local Plan. It also provided an opportunity to view the proposed draft policies to be included within the Revised Core Strategy policies and Delivery and Allocations Local Plan.

            The Revised Core Strategy policies and Delivery and Allocations Local Plan would replace and update certain policies in the current Core Strategy and replace the remainder of the saved Unitary Development Plan (UDP) policies. This would help to ensure that the policies could carry full weight in the decision making process for planning applications and appeals.

            It was suggested that consideration be given to presenting this information at seminar be held for Members.

RESOLVED: That

1.    the content of the report be noted; and

2.      any comments or issues identified by the Board in relation to the proposed draft policies to be included within the Revised Core Strategy policies and Delivery and Allocations Local Plan are provided to the Planning and Transport Strategy Team.
