To consider the Council response to the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership (GBSLEP) Spatial Plan for Recovery and Growth Consultation Draft (September 2013).

(Report attached)

A report was considered which set out a proposed response from the Council to the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) Spatial Plan for Recovery and Growth Consultation Draft. The opportunity had been taken to respond to this high level plan under the duty to co-operate and in the light of the Council operating within this LEP.

It was noted that the Spatial Plan had been considered by the Planning Advisory Panel prior to it being submitted to the Executive Committee. There was cross-party support for a cautiously positive response given that the scale of growth required for Birmingham was still not known in full at the present time.

RECOMMENDED that

the Redditch Borough Council response to the GBSLEP Spatial Plan for Recovery and Growth Consultation Draft (September 2013) (Appendix 1 to the report) be approved.
