Questions to the Leader of the Council in accordance with Procedure Rule 1 (3)(m)

Minutes:

Councillor A S Fluker referred to a letter the Council had sent to major developers regarding consultants being appointed to review the Local Development Plan and asking them to bring forward new sites in the District for development. He asked the Leader if he could explain why this information hadn’t been shared with Members and why developers had been asked to place shape the District ahead of Members. In response the Leader commented the Council was using a consultant to help it shape the LDP work and review what work could be used in the new process. He explained that the Council could call for sites at any time which is what it had done.
