Decision

RESOLVED:

Cabinet is recommended to:

1. 1.  Approve the draft Future Shoreditch Area Action Plan, including the Direction of Travel document (Appendix 2), for public consultation.
2. 2.  Delegate authority to the Group Director of Climate Homes and Economy  to make minor changes ahead of consultation.

REASONS FOR DECISION

Consultation and engagement with stakeholders and the public is integral to producing an Area Action Plan. Consultation on the draft Area Action Plan is required in line with Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 and will help inform and influence the final version of the Area Action Plan.

DETAILS OF ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED

Consultation on a draft Future Shoreditch Area Action Plan is required to comply with Government regulations.

The alternative was to move onto a Regulation 19 consultation. This was considered to not provide enough opportunity for communities to feedback on the plan before adoption.
