Decision details

In response to a question by Councillor M Newman, the Executive Member for Strategic Planning and Transport agreed that the principle of the Duty to Co-operate should be on assessed housing need and not aspirational economic growth.  He referred to the vagaries of some Planning Inspectorate decisions and commented that East Herts Council would continue to challenge neighbouring plans where appropriate.

RESOLVED – that the notes of recent Member-level meetings with Broxbourne, Epping Forest and Welwyn Hatfield Councils, be agreed.
