Agenda

Wiltshire Core Strategy: Training on Planning for Members

The Supplement to Planning Policy Statement 1 on Climate Change requires local authorities to take an integrated approach to planning for sustainable energy both in terms of renewable energy generation and for inclusion within new development.  Wiltshire Council has already commissioned consultants to prepare an evidence base to support policy development for inclusion in the Wiltshire Core Strategy, due to be adopted early in 2011. A short presentation about this ongoing work will be included. 

Please see supporting documents.

1. Different venues, times and days are proposed when possible to enable as many councillors to attend but we do have to use the one(s) with the most possible attendees.

2. Following a development session the information, if possible, will be made available on the Councillor Development Area on the Intranet.

3. If you are not able to attend a session that you were very interested in and the information cannot be made available on line it may be possible to organise a one-to-one with a relevant officer or a personal development session; if you are interested please contact Marie Gondlach (details below).

4. Pre-booking is essential. If you do not book 3 working days in advance, catering (if applicable) cannot be guaranteed, nor parking or seating at the venue.

5. There is a cost to providing any development event. If you are unable to attend a previously booked course, please let Marie Gondlach know so that the place can be offered to others.

6. Co-opted members, Town and Parish Councillors, Partners and Councillors from neighbouring authorities may be in attendance at some sessions.

Wiltshire Councillors do not need to complete a request form for this session but for administrative purposes please let us know if you wish to attend
