The Board is asked to:-

(2)  Authorise the Head of City development to make any necessary additional corrections to the document prior to publication.

The Head of City Development submitted a report (previously circulated, now appended) that sought approval Annual Monitoring Report for publication.

Councillor Colin Cook, Board Member for City Development, presented the report to the Board and provided some background and context. He noted that there was one indicator that was in the “red” category (new Class B1 use), but this was not of great concern as it was expected to be “green” next year. Councillor Price added that there was much good work being carried out on, for example, the introduction of CIL, Barton and the Northern Gateway developments.

Councillor John Goddard addressed the Board, and emphasised that there was a lot of delivery to be done to ensure that things that matter – homes, jobs and the retention of decent green space – were achieved.

Resolved to:-

(1)  Approve the Annual Monitoring Report 2012/2013 for publication;

(2)  Authorise the Head of City Development to make any necessary additional corrections to the document prior to publication.
