The Leader noted that since the Local Plan report was submitted for the agenda publication, further amendments were made to the document in consultation with Councillor Vincent and Councillor Jones.  The amendments were detailed on the cover note and circulated to all Cabinet Members together with a revised copy of the Local Plan (Appendix 1).

Councillor Cartwright requested clarification on the page numbers the cover note referred to as they did not match the Cabinet agenda page numbers. Matt Butler explained that they referred to the ones on the actual Local Plan (Appendix 1), printed on the top of the document.

RESOLVED:

1.            That endorsement be given to the proposed submission Local Plan (see amended Appendix 1 published with the supplementary agenda) and changes to the Proposals Map (see Appendix 2), with a view that the documents and other associated submission documents required by the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (‘the Regulations’) are commended to full Council for approval and made available for a minimum 6 weeks for public consultation commencing on 22 July 2016 or as soon as possible thereafter.

2 .        That the Director of Planning and Development in consultation with the Cabinet Member forEnvironment, Transport & Residents Services, is authorised to approve any  technical and other minor amendments to the submission documents:
