COUNCIL PLANNING
INQUIRY
Southampton City Council is today kicking off an inquiry into planning issues.
The
first meeting of several meetings is being held this evening. All meetings will
be conducted in public at the Civic Centre so people can go along. It may be
possible to address the panel and people are certainly encouraged to make
written representations.
I have
attached a link this evening’s meeting, which is just setting out the terms of
reference.
The
main meetings are at 5pm and as follows:
9th January – looking at
planning policies towards Houses of Multiple
Occupation. (click HERE for a link to the papers)
6th February – looking at
the effectiveness of planning enforcement
6th March – looking at
other planning policies – national and local, including conversion of office and
retail to residential use
The
inquiry is an opportunity to strengthen and improve the council’s approach to
these planning issues.
If you would like to make comments or
speak to someone to get more information you can contact Mark Pirnie at the City
Council: mark.pirnie@southampton.gov.uk.
