Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Deputy Chief Executive.

Agreed:

RESOLVED that:-

(1)        the contents of the draft SCI presented to the meeting be approved for an eight-week consultation commencing in September 2021; and

(2)        the Deputy Chief Executive, in consultation with the Council Leader and Portfolio Holder for City Development, be granted delegated authority to agree minor changes to the draft SCI document before it is published for consultation.

Reason for Decision: As set out in the report.

The Executive received the report on Exeter’s new Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), which was a document that needed to be prepared by all Local Planning Authorities. The document set out how the public, organisations and other interested parties would be involved in planning matters and would replace the existing SCI which was adopted in 2005. The SCI would be published for consultation alongside the Exeter Local Plan ‘Issues Consultation’ and any amendments following the consultation would be brought back to the Executive and Council for approval.

RESOLVED that:-

(1)        the contents of the draft SCI presented to the meeting be approved for an eight-week consultation commencing in September 2021; and

(2)        the Deputy Chief Executive, in consultation with the Council Leader and Portfolio Holder for City Development, be granted delegated authority to agree minor changes to the draft SCI document before it is published for consultation.
