To consider a £10,000 contribution towards a Redditch Joint Study to identify the “preferred option” for future housing and employment development in and around Redditch.

(Report attached)

Members considered a proposal to part fund and agree to the project brief for a Redditch Joint Study to identify the preferred option for future housing and employment development in and around Redditch.

The long term importance of the study was recognised by the Council and it was concluded that it was more beneficial to come forward with a joint planning solution to this matter than a number of separate and competing political solutions.

RESOLVED that

1)         the Project Brief attached to the report as Appendix A for the      second stage of the Redditch Joint Study be agreed; and

2)         a financial contribution of up to £10,000 be agreed.
