RESOLVED: that Cabinet approved
the Action Plan for implementation by Officers of the Council as
identified on the Action Plan, subject to separate business cases
as identified in the Action Plan.
 
REASONS RESOLVED:
The recommendation aligns with
the 16th December 2021 recommendation of the Planning Policy
Committee, in that the report provides the commentary of the
working undertaken by the Member Working Group, and the Action Plan
provides a structure against which the work of the Working Group
can be progressed, and where possible, implemented in the policy
and operational practices of the Council.
 
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The recommendation regarding
the implementation of an Action Plan as outlined below remains the
preferred option, however, other options remain, for example the
Council could accept the current position and the constraints of
the regulatory regimes. This is not recommended, as it is clear
that further investigation and review should be
commissioned
