Purpose:

Content: Decision   RESOLVED that Cabinet NOTED the presentation and agreed that the officers submit a report for consideration at the next ordinary meeting of the Cabinet that responds to the Petition and takes into account the presentation made by the Lead Petitioner.   Reasons for decision   A petition was received on 29th October 2025 and lead petitioners received a response on 3rd February 2026 from the Portfolio Holder for Planning Infrastructure and Transport and Portfolio Holder for Housing and Housing Development.   The Council’s Constitution stated that if the lead petitioner was unsatisfied with the original response, they should be given the ability to present at the next convenient meeting and as such have been invited to this Cabinet meeting.   Officers had considered the requests set out in the petition and provided responses to each request (Appendix A) for Cabinet’s consideration.   Alternative Options Considered   As stated above, the Council’s Constitution clearly set out the process and Cabinet had therefore been asked to consider the petition. There were no alternative options.
