Minutes:
Members heard from the Director of Planning, Regeneration and Communities, seeking to set out the current position of work to secure investment and regeneration into the site of former RAF Scampton. It was recognised that the announcement from the Home Office regarding the change in approach to the use of the site had impacted the content of the update to be provided to Members. The next steps were set out, with further communications expected between the Council and the Home Office, as well as highlighting the need to remain in communication with the development partner.
Members of the Committee expressed their satisfaction with the recent Home Office announcement, as well as thanking all Councillors, Officers, and those involved who had been committed to achieving the best outcome for the district from the very beginning.
It was explained that there would be a thorough review of the entire process, including lessons learnt, and where actions may have been different. Members welcomed this approach.
With no requirement for a vote, the report was DULY NOTED.
