Minutes:
Councillor Roberts submitted a report informing the Cabinet of the progress, future actions and the timetable for the production of the Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Structure Plan. It was noted that the Strategic Planning and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee, as well as other individual Members had expressed concern at the proposed use of the City Rooms for the Examination in Public of the Structure Plan because of the lack of disabled access at this venue. It was noted that two alternative venues had been suggested; these were Committee Rooms 2 and 3 at the New Walk Centre or the Blackbird Road Training Centre. It was noted that the Planning Inspector and Chair would be visiting both these venues to consider which was the most suitable. The resolutions of the Strategic Planning and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee held on 22 February were circulated to the Cabinet.
RESOLVED:
(1)that the progress leading to the Examination in Public for the above Structure Plan be noted;
(2)that the proposed pre Examination in Public modifications be approved;
(3)that a range of housekeeping and procedural issues/decisions, as detailed in the report, be delegated to the Director of Environment, Development and Commercial Services, in consultation with the Cabinet Lead Member for Strategic Planning and Regeneration; and
(4)that the contents of the resolutions of the Strategic Planning and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee held on 22 February 2001, be noted.
