Minutes:
The Committee considered Minute 44 of Cabinet held on 19th June 2018, which had been called in for scrutiny together with the report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) outlining the proposed changes to national planning policy. The report set out a new approach to reviewing the Development Plan for Southend-on-Sea, including the preparation of a South Essex Joint Strategic Plan (JSP) in partnership with other South Essex local authorities and Essex County Council to provide a statutory framework to guide the preparation of South Essex local plans including a new local plan for Southend (the Southend New Local Plan (SNLP).
The Committee discussed the matter in detail and asked a number of questions which the Cabinet Member for Growth and officers responded to. In response to a question regarding the delegation to the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) in consultation with the Cabinet Member or Growth (and any other relevant Cabinet Member) to agree and make amendments to the documents, the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) clarified that this was procedural and related to minor textual matters. The Cabinet Member also assured Members that a glossary explaining the terms used would be included.
In response to a question regarding the reference of London Southend Airport within the JSP Statement of Common Ground, the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) undertook to include more details around the development and expansion of London Southend Airport, including the additional routes and new operators where appropriate.
