Decision details

The Committee discussed the Toton and Chetwynd Barracks Strategic Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document, with particular reference to concerns about the bus plug on the Bessell Lane access to the HS2 site.

The debate centred on trying to balance the concerns of the Committee regarding the access on Bessell Lane, whilst not inhibiting the progress of the document which was essential to attracting major investment and development to the area.

It was proposed by Councillor T Hallam and seconded by Councillor L A Lally that an amendment be made to the wording of the resolution as follows;

that delegated authority be given to the Head of Planning and Economic Development in consultation with the Chair of the Jobs and Economy Committee to finalise the material, including amendments to the wording in relation to access to the development at Bessell Lane, and arrangements for consultation be approved. 

On being put to the meeting the motion was carried.

RESOLVED that:

1.  The Toton and Chetwynd Barracks Strategic Masterplan Supplementary Planning   Document (as included as appendix 1) for public consultation be approved.

2.  That delegated authority be given to the Head of Planning and Economic Development in consultation with the Chair of the Jobs and Economy Committee to finalise the material, including amendments to the wording in relation to access to the development at Bessell Lane, and arrangements for consultation be approved.
