211/2003 The Cabinet agreed to support the
production of a development brief prepared jointly with Akzo Nobel
and their agents, for mixed-use development with the aim of
replacing the jobs that will be lost with the closure of the
chemical works and that a further report be made to cabinet
following preparation of, and consultation on the draft brief with
a view to its adoption, by council, as guidance on future
development in the area.
212/2003 The Cabinet agreed that the existing proposals which
resulted from the previous marketing exercise (detailed in the
exempt appendix) are rejected and that further marketing is delayed
until a framework giving a clear understanding of the way forward
can be formulated.
