The Chair of the Committee advised Members that it had come to the attention of Council officers that the Government had published new regulations which made changes to consultation arrangements in respect of sustainability appraisals prepared for Local Plans which needed to be reflected in the revised Statement of Community Involvement. 

The Director of Regeneration and Place therefore stated that the report was withdrawn and Members were asked to note that a further report will be brought to the next convenient meeting of this Committee with further updates to the draft Statement of Community Involvement to take account of the new regulations.

This was noted.
