Long meetings
Formartine Area Committee nearly set a new record for its length today — 9.45 am to 4.30pm with 30 minutes for lunch. 29 planning applications - and for 3 we decided to visit the site, so we are not finished with them yet.
We had a good discussion on the Draft Structure Plan with a high degree of concensus including the need to align the development of employment and housing in parallel. Nonetheless, we still approved building housing on two site allocated for employment - and unless not just “talk the talk” but “walk the walk”, we will continue to lose employment land and make it harder for small businesses to setup and expand: not everyone wants ot needs to be in industrial sites.
