The Portfolio Holder for Planning set out the report regarding Dorset Council’s response to the consultation on the publication version (Regulation 19) of the Wiltshire Council Local Plan.

This was the final consultation stage in the production of the Wiltshire Local Plan prior to submission to the Secretary of State for examination in public. The initial response was set out in the appendix to the report, but due to tight timescales, it was proposed that the final detail should be agreed with the Portfolio Holder for Planning prior to being submitted to Wiltshire Council.

It was proposed by Cllr D Walsh seconded by Cllr J Haynes
