Agenda item

Brian Taylor, the Head of Planning, presented this report to Members to seek Authority approval to become joint signatory to the Joint Regional Statement of Common Ground prepared for the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority. 

This initiative is an example of joint working across our boundaries and across joint Authorities.  It was acknowledged that there were a number of points made in the document that are now a little out of date and this would be fed back to the co-ordinator by the Head of Planning.  It was felt that all these opportunities should be grasped as they come forward from other Authorities.

A motion to approve the recommendations was proposed, seconded, voted on and carried. 

RESOLVED:

That the Authority approves the Statement (in Appendix 1 of the report) and that the Chair of the Authority signs it.
