The Assistant Director (Planning & Regulatory) gave an update on a question raised at the recent Council meeting in relation to consultation on small land sales. He noted that the Portfolio Holder for Environment and Performance, Councillor Simon Speller was also in attendance. He confirmed with Members whether they had concerns surrounding the amount of people being consulted or the time at which Councillors were engaged with. Councillors agreed that it was important to engage with local Members and residents as Ward Councillors were not always aware when pieces of land were being sold, and residents or neighbours weren’t aware until it happened.
