Agenda item

This report advised Members on a consultation in respect of a proposed D2 Combined Authority (CA) for Derby and Derbyshire.

Officers confirmed that although the Authority had a “duty to co-operate” with other planning authorities, a Combined Authority was not a planning authority. The Peak District National Park Authority would have “observer status”, which the Authority welcomed.

The officer made a correction to the recommendation to replace “paragraphs 22 and 23” with “paragraphs 25 and 26”.

RESOLVED:

1.    Members endorse the Authority’s response on the proposed Derbyshire Combined Authority as set out in paragraphs 25 and 26 of the report.
