To consider the LPLG Draft Terms of Reference and Working Arrangements.

RESOLVED to approve the Local Plan Leadership Group’s Terms of Reference and Working Arrangements as setout in the agenda papers.

At the invitation of the Leader, Councillor Storah, Chair of the LPLG, said the Terms of Reference (ToR) before Cabinet had not been considered by the LPLG in full. He said a number of points had been removed from the preliminary draft that had been presented to the LPLG, as he felt they were duplicated in the Constitution and the Group’s working arrangements. He said he had no concerns with the ToR as tabled before Cabinet.

The Leader said that as the LPLG was a working group of Cabinet, it was for Cabinet to approve the ToR.

Councillor Evans said the amended ToR reflected the views expressed at the previous Cabinet meeting and highlighted the commitment to hold such meetings in public.
