Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Housing and Safety introduced the report. Cabinet had approved the draft policy statement for consultation on the 19 June 2012 and there had been no changes following the conclusion of that consultation. It was also noted that the legislation relating to the scope of this policy had remained largely unchanged.
A member queried how many establishments, including outlets, were currently in the town and whether there was a limit to the total number permitted in the town and if so, what this figure was. The Cabinet Member Housing and Safety was not able to provide this information at the meeting and as such agreed to provide the answer in writing.
Upon a vote it was unanimously
RESOLVED that:-
1. The consultee comments received be noted; and
2. The draft policy statement be approved and adopted.
