Non-Key Decision

Portfolio Holder

Councillor Matthew Relf – Portfolio Holder for Regeneration and Planning

RESOLVED that

a)    public consultation be undertaken on the Draft Hucknall Town Centre Spatial Masterplan, as presented, for a period of 4 weeks during April and May 2022;

b)    delegated authority be granted to the Interim Director of Place and Communities, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regeneration, to make any minor amendments to the Masterplan as necessary prior to consultation.

Approval was sought from Cabinet to undertake a public and stakeholder consultation on the Draft Hucknall Town Centre Spatial Masterplan, outlined at Appendix 1, for 4 weeks during April and May 2022.

Members were asked to note that some changes/deletions to the venues available for public consultation events as outlined in the document, were required and officers would therefore ensure that any amendments to venues or event dates were fully publicised and promoted.

Members considered the alternative option of declining to submit the Masterplan for public consultation.  This was not recommended as participation with the public and stakeholders enabled valuable feedback and  would hold more weight as a material planning consideration and in the detailed formulation of subsequent projects where funding will need to be secured.

RESOLVED that

b)    delegated authority be granted to the Interim Director of Place and Communities, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regeneration, to make any minor amendments to the Masterplan as necessary prior to consultation.

b)

Reason:

To enable the Council to carry out public and stakeholder consultation which will allow the spatial masterplan to have the greatest weight in the planning system once formally adopted.
