Issue - meetings

To receive announcements from the Chairman, including:

·         Local Transport Plan Car Parking Strategy

·         Community Payback – Call for ‘Grot Spots’

·         Consultation on Initial Site Options for the Aggregate Minerals Site Allocations

·         An Extraordinary Meeting of Southern Wiltshire Area Board will be held on 15 September 2010 at 7.00pm to discuss the proposed approach to developing housing requirements for Wiltshire since the Regional Spatial Strategy was revoked on 6 July 2010 (venue to be confirmed).

(papers attached)

The Chairman invited people to note the consultation papers attached to the agenda and advised them that due to the postponement of the regional spatial planning document, an extraordinary meeting may be scheduled to discuss the proposed approach to reviewing housing requirements for the draft South Wiltshire Core Strategy since the Regional Spatial Strategy was revoked on 6th July.

Note: Subsequently, this meeting would not now take place because officers felt that the consultation that had already been undertaken on the South Wiltshire Core Strategy to date had given the Council a good understanding of the views locally regarding housing growth in the Community Areas of South Wiltshire and this information would be used to inform the review.

An update would be provided at the next Board meeting on 14th October 2010.
