RESOLVED that the motion as amended by Councillor Ryde be agreed. Council notes that:

 

1.    The Government has proposed a white paper relating to the planning system, titled ‘Planning for the Future’, which is currently being consulted on.

2.    The submission deadline for this consultation is the 28th October

3.    The Council will be making a submission to the Government as a part of this consultation.

4.    In the Council’s submission to this consultation, consideration will be given to the thoughts and concerns raised during the debate on this motion.

 

Council believes that:

1.    ‘Planning for the Future’ sets out the Government’s plan to build new homes around the country, and to make the housing market more accessible to those who currently struggle.

2.    Making a submission to the Government’s white paper consultation is the appropriate action to take at this time.

 

Council calls on the Leader of the Council to:

1.    Ensure that the Council continues to lobby the appropriate individuals in order to make sure that our views are represented to Government.
