Report of the Planning Policy Manager

The Planning Policy Manager introduced a report, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, seeking approval to issue the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan Preferred Approach document for a period of consultation.

It was noted that the list of background documents in paragraph 1.8 of the report had been correct at the time of publication but two additional documents had since been added to the Greater Nottingham Partnership website, including a landscape study and a document which sets out Gedling Borough Council’s housing supply.  The list would increase further as plan preparation progresses.

Councillor Payne proposed an amendment to the original recommendations in the report. This was seconded by Councillor Hollingsworth and the proposition was put to a named vote as follows:

For the amendment:

Councillors Clarke, Ellis, Fox, Hollingsworth, R McCrossen, Payne, Wheeler.

Against the amendment:

None.

Abstentions:

None.

The Chair declared the amendment carried and it was

RESOLVED to:

1)    Approve the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan Preferred Approach document and Sustainability Appraisal in so far as it relates to Gedling Borough with the exception of proposals to release Green Belt land at Teal Close, in light of the Ministerial Statement made on 6th December 2022 and to be made clear in an updated National Planning Policy Framework, to allow a period of public representations; and

2)    Delegate authority to the Planning Policy Manager to exclude the Teal Close site and make any minor editing changes and any other typographical, formatting or changes to imagery necessary to the Preferred Approach document and any supporting evidence documents prior to consultation.
