Issue - meetings

The Chairman advised that owing to the fast pace of the development of this project it was necessary to amend the recommendations of the report with up to date information.  This was duly circulated. A 3 minute adjournment was granted in order that Members could consider the revised recommendations.

The meeting reconvened at 8:10pm

Members were then shown a presentation by the Project and Growth Officers to demonstrate the proposed development around Gainsborough. The Director of Economic Growth & Commercial explained that the premise of the presentation and report was to seek agreement from Members to continue with the project and a full report for the extended business case would be presented to Committee in early 2018.

The projected social, economic and environmental benefits of the project were highlighted to Members and discussions were held relating to the inclusion of local woodland areas into the plan. All Members expressed their support and excitement about this project and thanks were extended to the team working on it.

            RESOLVED that all recommendations as set in the addendum circulated  be approved.
