That:

1)        the sites listed for submission and consideration, as set out in the report as part of the Local Plan Call for Sites, be approved;

2)        authority be delegated for the submission of a detailed assessment as part of the Local Plan process to the Assistant Director of Commercial Property and the Executive Member for Business, Economic Development and Strategic Planning.

The Executive considered a report which related to Council sites which had been submitted for consideration as part of the Local Plan Call for Sites.

The Executive Member for Business, Economic Development and Strategic Planning drew Members’ attention to Appendix B of the report which showed the addition of two sites in Winnersh to the list of land holdings, that had already been promoted as part of the Local Plan process.

In response to Councillor Batth’s query relating to a suggestion that had been put forward previously to build a Sikh temple on the Winnersh site Councillor Munro confirmed that the Council had a duty to get the best value return for all land and there was a need to go through the proper process and evaluate all options.

RESOLVED that:

1)        the sites listed for submission and consideration, as set out in the report as part of the Local Plan Call for Sites, be approved;

2)        authority be delegated for the submission of a detailed assessment as part of the Local Plan process to the Assistant Director of Commercial Property and the Executive Member for Business, Economic Development and Strategic Planning.
