Lead Member – Councillor Chris Schofield - Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regulatory Services

Report of Mark Barrow - Executive Director of Place

RESOLVED:

That Cabinet agreed:

A)    The extent and prioritisation of infrastructure needs identified in appendices 1- 18 of this report as part of the full review of the Place Plans

B)    That the Place Plans are ‘live’ documents and that further incremental updates to them ahead of any future full review are delegated to the Assistant Director of Economy and Place, in consultation with the Internal Infrastructure Group (IIG) and the Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regulatory Services.

The Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regulatory Services introduced the report which sought Cabinet approval for the extent and prioritisation of infrastructure projects to be included in Shropshire’s 18 Place Plans.

Town and Parish Councils, together with volunteers and officers, were thanked for their hard work in getting vital plans in place for the future. This has enabled town and parish councils to re-look at projects and funding options.

It was felt that certain parish councils had not received an update on their local Place Plans and that expectations of projects being included had not been met. It was confirmed that the Place Plans were live documents and could be amended.
