The Planning Policy and Local Plan Committee of Tendring Council was scheduled to consider the submission version of the Tendring District Local Plan. This significant document, along with its associated assessments, was to be recommended for public consultation. The meeting also included provisions for public speaking on officer reports.

Tendring District Local Plan Review: Submission Version

The committee was scheduled to be presented with the Tendring District Local Plan 'Submission Version' . The agenda indicated that the committee would be asked to agree that this document, alongside the Sustainability Appraisal and Habitat Regulations Assessment , be recommended for approval by Full Council. This would allow the plan to proceed to a six-week formal public consultation period, as required by Regulation 19 of the statutory plan-making process. The Local Plan sets out the council's vision and strategy for the future development of the Tendring District, covering aspects such as housing, employment, and infrastructure.

Public Speaking

The agenda also outlined the opportunity for members of the public and other interested parties to speak to the committee. This provision, governed by the Council's Public Speaking Scheme for the Planning Policy & Local Plan Committee, allows individuals to address the elected members on any specific officer report that was scheduled for consideration at the meeting.

Questions on Notice

Members of the committee were scheduled to have the opportunity to ask questions of the Chairman of the Committee. These questions, requiring two working days' notice, could pertain to any matter within the council's powers or duties that affect the Tendring District and fall within the committee's terms of reference.
