The Panel received the notes of the latest round of Member-level meetings with adjoining Local Planning Authorities.  Members were reminded of the Duty to Co-Operate and the need to engage constructively with a range of bodies throughout the plan-making process.

Officers advised that, as work on the District Plan progressed, it was expected that a series of Memoranda of Understanding would be agreed with neighbouring local authorities, and other bodies where considered appropriate.  These would identify how strategic cross boundary issues had been addressed and would therefore form a key piece of evidence in support of the District Plan moving forward to Examination.

The Panel supported the recommendations as now detailed.
