Issue - meetings

The Scrutiny Officer submitted a report setting out the future programme for the Committee.

The Chief Executive and Director of Customer and Community Services advised Members that in 2008 there had been a review undertaken by Halcrow consultancy  to look at employment land across the District (excluding rural areas), to assess their conditions and how they met the District’s needs.  A study had been undertaken recently to update that report.  In response to a query from Councillor J Ranger regarding its inclusion in the District Plan, the Chief Executive and Director of Customer and Community Services explained how the information supported the development of the Local Plan.  It was suggested that the Employment Land Review be included on the agenda for the second meeting of this committee in the next civic year on 2 July 2013.  This was supported.

RESOLVED – that the work programme, as now amended, be approved.
