West of England council records show housing and planning cluster from Bath Local Plan to Bristol cladding review

Agendas and supplements published on 17-18 September link Bristol's public housing scrutiny and cladding update to Bath's Draft Local Plan consultation and Somerset planning meetings.

Bath & North East Somerset Council said its cabinet agreed to move forward with consultation on a Draft Local Plan, which the council described as setting out where homes, jobs and essential infrastructure could be delivered; the consultation is about to get under way [7]. In Bristol, the Homes and Housing Delivery Policy Committee's 18 September meeting included a Turner and Townsend presentation on the annual cladding remediation programme [5], and its published papers included public forum statements and questions and responses [2], [4]. Somerset Council published public questions for its Adults, Health and Housing scrutiny committee's 18 September meeting [1], and has scheduled its Planning Committee - South for 29 September [6]. Cotswold District Council listed a Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning decision meeting for 25 September [3].
