Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Bithell introduced the Planning Enforcement Policy report which recommended a revised Policy for consultation.

            The revised Policy had been considered at Environment Overview and Scrutiny Committee in September 2017 where it was supported with the inclusion of three minor changes which had been incorporated into the body of the Policy.

            The Chief Officer (Planning and Environment) explained that Section 9 of the Policy provided the Council with a defensible position as to why some enforcement matters were pursued.

            In response to a question from Councillor Thomas, the Chief Officer explained that the consultation would take place via the Flintshire website with the final document also being available on that site.  Following a question from Councillor Attridge, the Chief Officer said a summary of the responses to the consultation would be submitted to a future Cabinet meeting.

RESOLVED:

That the revised Planning Enforcement Policy be approved for consultation.
