PDF 67 KBDecision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To consider the draft Placemaking Plan Issues & Options Paper for public consultation
Decision:
(1) To NOTE that the preparation of the Placemaking Plan will be formally launched in May 2013 with the publication of the Launch Document.
Reasons for the decision:
The Placemaking Plan Launch Document will help to provide clarity on the preparation of the Placemaking Plan for local communities and those with an interest in the development process and will facilitate effective community engagement.
Alternative options considered:
The Council has significant discretion over this stage of plan preparation before the first formal stage which is the publication of a draft plan for consultation. This informal engagement stage is the opportunity to assess the evidence, clarify the key issues of relevance, and consider options. Publication of a launch Document, whilst not a requirement of the plan preparation regulations, is a helpful way to publicize the start of the process and ensure all those who need to be involved are have sufficient information to properly engage in the process.
