Agenda

To receive any apologies for absence.

To confirm, as a correct record, the minutes of the Local Plan Sub-Committee meeting held on 4 February 2025.

Items of other business notified under Council Procedure Rule 30 to be announced, together with the special circumstances that justify their consideration as a matter of urgency. The Chairman to rule on the admission of such items.

To receive any declarations of interests.

This report provides an overview of the Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) which has been prepared to assist with the formulation of the emerging Local Plan.

Recommendation:

That the Local Plan Sub-Committee notes the contents of the report and agrees to publish the Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (December 2024) to the emerging Local Plan Evidence Base (online website).

If the Sub-Committee wishes to consider the remaining items in private, it will be appropriate for a resolution to be passed in the following terms:-

“that under Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following item(s) of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined under Paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A to the Act. It has been decided by the Council that in all the circumstances, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.”

(Note: if other confidential business is approved under item 3, it will also be necessary to specify the class of exempt or confidential information in the additional items).

To receive a presentation summarising the ‘call for sites’ submissions.
