Report of the Director of Place and Sustainability – to report to the Committee on the progress with the draft Area Plan and take receive comments/variations

The report is circulated under Item 1a on the agenda

The Chair reiterated her comments expressed during the Forum part of the proceedings in respect of the disappointment of Fortis Green and Muswell Hill cllrs that the Council withdrew their backing for the imaginative and well-supported bid from Muswell Hill Traders for round two of the Mayors Outer London Fund. The bid included a piazza outside the Odeon site and would have given a well-deserved boost to the local shopping centre.

In response to clarification the Chair advised that the reason for the withdrawal had been given as a Council decision to just support the bid from Tottenham for the fund and to withdraw support for the bids from Muswell Hill and Green Lanes.

In respect of the draft area plan the Chair asked that officers incorporate any comments given during the Forum part of the meeting, and subsequently to this evening, and circulate the plan to all attendees with any comments to be fed back to Zoe Swanson – Senior Project Manager - Frontline Services, prior to the next stage of the consultation in February (see timetable p6 of the Forum agenda papers).

RESOLVED

that officers incorporate any comments given during the Forum part of the meeting, and subsequently to this evening, and circulate the plan to all attendees with any further comments to be fed back to Zoe Swanson – Senior Project Manager - Frontline Services, and that the draft area plan progressed in line with the timetable 3.1 p6 of the Forum Agenda.
