Decision details

A report was submitted for the Cabinet to consider issues raised by petitioners in respect of land known as ‘The Butts, Gallowstree Lane’. 

The Portfolio Holder for Planning and Housing stated that there were no plans to sell off this piece of land and suggested that the Cabinet’s best option would be to follow option (a) under paragraph 2.1 of the report :–

Continue to allow the Butts to go forward and be subject to the outcome of masterplanning and Joint Local Plan process on the basis that such plans will guide future decision making as to the use of the subject land.

The petitioners would be responded to, advising them of the Council’s position on this piece of land.

Resolved:                         (i)       That the petitioners concerns and

objections be noted

(ii)      That the Butts continue to be allowed to go forward and be subject to the outcome of masterplanning and Joint Local Plan process on the basis that such plans will guide future decision making as to the use of the subject land.

(iii)      That officer guidance be prepared on the process for the aid of future petitioners.
