That the report be noted.

Members received an overview of the circulated report.

Officers highlighted there were recommendations for which there had been a management response form from the Council.

Officers explained that brownfield land is previously developed land. Welsh Councils were supporting the repurposing and regeneration of vacant properties and brownfield sites into houses and other assets.

There were five recommendations set out in the report, three were for local Councils and two were for Welsh Government.

Members queried recommendation two, the Councils response was the Urbanists consultancy organisation had been engaged to provide place plans for the key town centres and will inform the regeneration strategy by road maps. Members asked for a timescale.

Officers stated the three main town centre place plans had been completed.

The reason they were delayed slightly was due to consultation with members and with stakeholders within the area to make sure that what we were looking at in terms of the work that was provided by the Urbanists was what was required, and what was wanted locally.

Some of the members had pointed out that there were some towns that haven't been included in that process and that is something that is seeking further funding for to bring forward.

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.
