Minutes:
Councillor Eve McQuillan, Cabinet Member for Planning and Social Inclusion (Job Share) – Lead on Planning, introduced the report. This was a technical document confirming that the Council considered the Neighbourhood Plan submitted by the Spitalfields Neighbourhood Planning Forum met the requirements and that is should therefore go forward for formal examination. Should that be successful the Plan would then be presented to local residents in a referendum.
The Mayor and Cabinet Members welcomed the report and the also principle of Neighbourhood Plans. It was noted that it was important that those involved in creating these plans were inclusive to all the communities involved.
Councillor Peter Golds, Leader of the Conservative Group welcomed the proposals and supported the idea of having a number of other Neighbourhood Plans including in areas such as Bethnal Green.
The Mayor proposed the recommendations as set out which were agreed without dissent, and it was:
