to consider the following question(s) (if any)  received in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 8.

a)      From Cllr Hodgson to Cllr Pearce, Leader of the Council

‘South Hams District Council has not declared an economic crisis, but has declared a housing crisis, so why are we borrowing £9 Million to support Aldi and a further £5 Million to support economic development in Devonport rather than investing in the social housing in South Hams that our residents need?’

to consider the following motions received (if any) in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 10.1

(a)    By Cllrs Abbott and Birch

“The Aldi Project at Ivybridge has given rise to planning, financial and local economic concerns from members of the public and outside bodies/ organisations.

Whilst acknowledging that the planning concerns will be addressed by the Development Management Committee in the determination of the planning application, the financial and economic concerns remain to be addressed.

To address these concerns Council requests the Overview and Scrutiny Committee examine those parts of the project relating to its finance and economic consequences, and report back to the July meeting of Council with its findings and recommendations.”

(b)    By Cllrs Hodgson and Rose

“As part of its new climate policy for planning, this council will require Flood Modelling to be carried out for new developments over 10 houses and all new drainage assessments are based on the most recently published IPCC (intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change) reports to ensure that the most up to date risk assessment data is applied.”
