Agenda and minutes

The Chief Executive has consulted with the Leader to take an Urgent Business Decision.  The reason for the urgency in this case is that the constitution stipulates that the terms of reference need to be approved by Cabinet before the liaison group can meet.  Approval is required prior to the next scheduled meeting of Cabinet on 25^th June as a meeting of the Canal Corridor North Cabinet Liaison Group has been arranged for Wednesday 19^th June.  (Cabinet (28.5.13) Minute 5 (1) refers).

The Terms of Reference of the Canal Corridor North Cabinet Liaison were approved as follows:-

That a Cabinet Liaison Group be created to consider the emerging development proposals for the Canal Corridor site

The purpose of the Liaison Group is to provide a forum prior to the submission of a planning application where:

·         information on the detailed studies undertaken, and the evidence base created to support the development proposals can be shared as they become available;

·         details of the form, design and uses within the proposed development can be shared as they develop and without prejudice feedback given

·         the group can advise the appropriate Cabinet Member(s) on how to take proper account of how best to use the City Council’s landownership interests to ensure that the most appropriate regeneration solution for the land is secured within the framework of the development agreement.
