Outstanding Actions

Report of the Town Clerk.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the Town Clerk detailing the Committee’s outstanding actions.

 

Barbican and Golden Lane Conservation Area

A Member highlighted that a Conservation Management Plan was still awaited for this area in the form of a Supplementary Planning Document. He added that this was originally approved by this Committee in October 2018 and that he had requested an update on progress on several occasions since. He asked that this also now be included within the list of Outstanding Actions so that it was not lost sight of entirely.

 

The Interim Chief Planning Officer and Development Director reported that Officers were scheduling to bring this matter to Committee in Autumn 2020 and that the document was currently in draft form.

 

The Town Clerk undertook to update the list of Outstanding Actions accordingly.

 

Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) re: Housing

Officers reported that the intention was to bring something on this matter to the next meeting of this Committee on 14 July 2020. Work was currently underway to finalise whether this would be a full review of the SPD or a partial review looking at affordable housing elements only.

 

The Chair added that Officers were trying to balance making concessions to developers where it was felt that they were appropriate in relation to economic recovery from the current pandemic with the need to reflect the Committee’s wishes to correct current practices regarding affordable housing.

 

RECEIVED.
