Report number PLA803 by the Economic Development Portfolio Holder.

                                                                                                            (Enclosure)

Minutes:

DECISION:

 

          That Cabinet recommends to Council that the amendments to   Policy H3 set out in Appendix B of report PLA803 be agreed and,    following consultation, be submitted to the Core Strategy     Examination.

 

Considerations/reasons for decision:

 

1)    Report number PLA803 by the Portfolio Holder for Economic Development.

2)    Comments made by Cabinet Members regarding the change from a requirement of 40% affordable housing to 35% due to the market conditions within the district.

3)    Comments made by the Planning Policy Service Manager.

 

Other options considered:

 

          Do not amend Policy H3.  Although ultimately it will be for the Inspector       to determine whether the Council’s proposed amendment to Policy H3 is appropriate, proposing a change to the Policy ensures the Inspector          is aware of the Council’s formal view on this matter.
