Minutes:
Cllr Alan Hill raised a planning concern based on the directive from Minister Eric Pickles to delete the Regional Spatial Strategy and whether this could be used as planning legislation. There was concern that the chief inspector had directed his appeals inspectors that the RSS was enshrined in primary legislation and without new laws passed it could not be deleted from statute.
Resoved:
That the scrutiny officer would contact the Service Director - Development to provide clarity on legislation surrounding the Regional Spatial Strategy and update the Committee.
