RESOLVED that Cabinet supports the consultation response set out in Appendix 1 to this report and delegates authority to the Director of Planning to submit it to government subject to minor changes.
Voting: Unanimous
Portfolio Holder: Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Development, Growth and Regeneration
Reason
It is important the Council responds to the consultation. The constitution through the Scheme of Delegation to Officers delegates to each Chief Officer authority "To determine whether and how to respond on behalf of the Council to any local, county, sub-regional, regional or national consultation on matters affecting the Council subject to prior consultation with an Executive Member where it relates to an Executive function”.
The Deputy Leader of the Council and Portfolio Holder for Development, Growth and Regeneration requested this consultation response be a matter for Cabinet approval.
