Issue - meetings

Received a report on the proposed Planning Advice Note (PAN) 4, in relation to religious meeting places in the Borough. This PAN would act as the Council’s guidance document on how to meet the increasing demand for religious meeting places in the Borough and reduce the number of applications being refused planning permission.

Agreed, in order to achieve the Council’s Community Priorities of ‘Promoting Equal Opportunities and Celebrating Diversity’ and ‘Raising General Pride in the Borough’ to:  

1.  Approve Planning Advice Note (PAN) 4 in relation to Religious Meeting Places; and

2.  Authorise the Corporate Director of Regeneration to make non-material changes as may be necessary to the document PAN 4 prior to its publication.
