    To approve the accuracy of the minutes of the meeting held on 28 January 2015.

    Purpose - The draft HECA report sets out the energy conservation measures that the authority considers practicable, cost-effective and likely to result in significant improvement in the energy efficiency of residential accommodation in its area in line with government requirements.


    Purpose - This report informs members of the arrangements for the first One Planet Norwich: Sustainable Living Festival 2015.


    Purpose - This report concerns the Affordable housing supplementary planning document (SPD) which the panel considered and commented on before it was published as a draft for public consultation in October 2014.

    The report outlines the main issues raised in the responses to the consultation, summarises the responses received and proposes a number of changes to the document to address those responses.

    In addition, and of greater significance, the report has also been amended to take into account changes made to national planning policy which have raised the threshold over which local authorities can require a contribution to affordable housing and details how we propose to calculate the vacant building credit.


    Purpose - Response to government consultation ‘Building more homes on brownfield land’.

    Purpose - This paper reports on discussions with planning authorities across Norfolk about joint working to continue to ensure that the Duty to Cooperate is discharged and there is beneficial cooperation on strategic planning issues across a wide area.
