Good evening, Councillors, and welcome to this extraordinary meeting of rather district council. Before we start with a full agenda, I would like to acknowledge and send my condolences and my sympathy to Councillor Bailas and to Councillor Meyer on the loss of their partners. And I'm sure I can see lots of nodding heads here in the Chamber. I'm sure many people would echo those sentiments. Thank you very much. So beginning with our agenda, to receive apologies for absence, do we have any apologies? Yes, Chair, Councillors Bailas, Byrne, Gendly, Hacking, Oliver, Pro Shack and Tempe. Thank you very much. And joining us remotely, we have Councillor Coleman, Councillor Stanger, Councillor Kirby Green and Councillor Biggs. Welcome to you all. Item two on our agenda then is the disclosure of interests and dispensations. To receive any disclosures by members of Disclosable Pecuniary interests are the registrable interests, non-registrable interests, it matters on the agenda, and the nature of any interest and details of any dispensations obtained. Members are reminded of the need to repeat their declaration, immediately prior to the commencement of the item in question, and there is only one item on the agenda tonight. Do I have any disclosures of interest or dispensations? Thank you very much. It has just occurred to me that I have been rather rude and neglected in my duties to introduce you all to Andrew Vallance, who is our new Deputy Chief Executive. Welcome to our meeting, sir. So item three on our agenda is to receive the report of Cabinet arising from the meeting held on Monday the 8th of April 2024 regarding the Peace Marsh Civil Parish neighbourhood and 2021-28. I am going to invite Councillor Colleen, who has the portfolio for planning to speak on this matter. Thank you, Councillor Colleen. Thank you, Chair. So this evening, it's about as looking at the Cabinet report, which I'm sure everybody has seen read, which recommends that the Peace Marsh neighbourhood plan 2021-2028, which incorporates the examiner's modifications, which has been presented to the local referendum, we need to make it with immediate effect to form part of the Council's development plan. The Cabinet did pay tribute to the hard work that had been done by neighbourhood plan team in Peace Marsh for all their hard work, particularly as they were doing it through COVID. And we've now got it so it aligns nicely with the RDC's local plan, finishing in 2028. So if I can ask, this could be adopted. Thank you. Does anybody have any questions for Councillor Colleen? Okay, so this has been then proposed by Councillor Colleen, seconded by Councillor Osborne. Can I have a show of hands for all those in favour, please? And anybody against? Anybody abstaining? Okay, so I believe that's unanimous then. There'd be no further business this afternoon. I conclude the meeting at 1802. Thank you Thank you very much everyone for watching!
