Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee received a report of the Town Clerk concerning a report of action taken under urgency powers.

The committee discussed the unintended consequences around the lift and escalator report and requested a quarterly report in future for PASC meetings.

The committee reviewed the consultation submission to the government on the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Members expressed concerns about the inclusion of certain policy matters, particularly question 61, which addresses the setting of listed buildings.

The committee was informed that the City Plan had been submitted to the Secretary of State for examination in public on August 29th. The timing of the examination hearings is dependent on the planning inspectors, and it is possible that the hearings may take place next year.
