Decision details

Option 4 - To not agree with the recommendation and to not progress either route as set out and for Cabinet to propose an alternative, as below;

The Leader will provide a verbal update to Full Council on 17 May 2023.

This verbal update will satisfy the Full Council motion agreed in January 2023 requiring the Cabinet to inform Full Council by the end of June 2023 of the Cabinet’s approach to taking the Draft IPS forward.

The Cabinet is not bringing forward the Draft IPS at this moment in time, as the proposed changed to national planning policy and transitional arrangements have not yet been confirmed and published by the government. As soon as practicable after the government have done this, and Cabinet has understood the implications on local plan-making, Cabinet will come back to Full Council setting out how it proposes to progress the draft local plan.
