FIVE YEAR HOUSING LAND SUPPLY STATEMENT 2019-2024 PDF 286 KB Added to the agenda on 7 September, 2020 Additional documents: Minutes: Consideration was given to a report regarding the Council’s five year Housing Land Supply Statement from 1 April, 2019 to 31 March, 2022.
The Council’s Head of Planning Shawn Fleet stated that the Council did have a five year housing land supply.
Members attention was drawn to paragraph’s 6 and 7 which showed a figure of 7.3 years housing land supply or 5.1 years if student accommodation was taken out of the equation.
Committee member and Portfolio Holder for Planning and Growth, Councillor Paul Northcott welcomed the report stating that he was pleased that we now had a healthy supply of land and said that it was important that the Council was able to choose where the housing goes.
Members welcomed the report and thanked the Leader of the Council, the Portfolio Holder for Planning and Growth and the officers who had been involved with the project.
The Chair echoed everything that had been said and urged all Council Members to read the document and consider it carefully.
Resolved: That the report be noted.

5 BOGGS COTTAGE, KEELE. 14/00036/207C3 PDF 143 KB This report includes a supplementary item. Additional documents:
Minutes: The Council’s Development Management Team Manager, Elaine Moulton advised Members that the Council had received a Pre-Hearing note from the Planning Inspectorate which was continuing to postpone physical Hearings and Enquiries due to the current Covid-19 restrictions.
The Inspectorate were considering whether the Hearing for this property could be a blended event with both physical and virtual attendees. However, if that option was chosen, it would not take place on 6 October as scheduled.
Councillor Jones proposed that preference was for a virtual meeting on 6 October but, should that not be possible, a blended Hearing take place to ensure that the matter is heard as soon as possible.
Members discussed the options in detail considering the risk of IT problems if it were to be a totally virtual meeting and prejudicing those who did not have IT equipment.
Members all agreed that the matter needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Resolved: (i) That the Planning Inspectorate be advised that the Planning Committee has no objection to a virtual hearing but that there would be no objections to a blended event if that was considered more appropriate. The Committee did not consider that further delays are acceptable and therefore did not wish for the hearing to be an entirely physical meeting.
(ii) That an update report be brought to the 10 November, Planning Committee
