Decision details

The report outlined how the Council would act as a lead authority in the procurement of a piece of vital evidence required on behalf of the Greater Nottingham Housing Market Area to progress the Aligned Core Strategy Review. Benefits would include maintaining control over development and maintaining partnership arrangements which would lead to financial benefits. Members discussed the importance of the report in regards to the Local Plan. It was suggested that roadshows should be held to involve communities and parish councils. It was noted that this report was the basis for policy - not policy in itself and all future decisions would come to either the Jobs and Economy Committee or Full Council.

RESOLVED that the Council act as lead authority on behalf of the Greater Nottingham Councils in the procurement of a Greater Nottingham Growth Options Study and the Section 151 Officer be given delegated authority to accept the tender and sign the tender contract on behalf of the Council once appointment is made.
