Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Growth and Economy
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
To seek approval for the consultation strategy
for the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan as it relates to Gedling
Borough Council.
Recommendation(s)
THAT the Portfolio Holder:
1)Approve the consultation strategy at Appendix A
2)Agree that the Service Manager for Planning Policy uses the
Council’s website to advise of any changes to the
consultation strategy arising from the lifting of current
restrictions relating to the coronavirus pandemic.
To approve the consultation strategy set out
at Appendix A.
An alternative would be not to prepare a
consultation strategy but rely on the broad principles for
consultation on plans set out in the adopted SCI. In this case,
Gedling Borough Council would not be complying with the letter of
the SCI, which could open up the possibility of a legal challenge.
The SCI by its nature sets out general principles and its
supplementary consultation strategy is to allow for innovation and
flexibility to meet challenges such as the implications of COVID
19.
