MATTERS ARISING

The Chairman informed Members that he had contacted the Greater London with respect to the Committee’s concerns on the proposed National Planning Policy Framework and Neighbourhood Planning report. A report was being prepared to be submitted to the Policy and Resources Committee which will highlight the Superintendents’ current use of resources on local planning matters, address issues concerning the legal status of Neighbourhood Forums’ powers in relation to key legislation and make suggestions as to what the City’s Open Spaces relationship with neighbourhood forums should be. It will be helpful to progress engagement with the County and District local planning authorities surrounding the City’s Open Spaces.
