Decision:

To provide an opportunity for residents and

to shape the Plan for Neighbourhoods.

Reasons for the Decision:

To ensure local communities and stakeholders
have a clear understanding of the Plan for Neighbourhoods, and
confidence that they will be listened to and involved in the
consultation process.

Details of alternative options considered and
rejected:

Recommended: Public consultation and
engagement is essential to enable
residents and stakeholders to contribute to the development of the
Plan for Neighbourhoods. Therefore, the undertaking of in person
and online formats are recommended to gather qualitative and
quantitative insights and data from stakeholders and local
communities.
 
Not recommended: The Council may choose
to develop and implement the proposals without consultation. This
option does not allow residents to shape the plans and goes against
the Plan for Neighbourhoods guidance on consultation. It is
therefore not recommended
