RESOLVED (Unanimously):
1.

2. Cabinet approved officers to proceed with a full options appraisal for the delivery of affordable/mixed use development at the McKenzie Arms site to develop a full business case and investment options for consideration by Cabinet at a future meeting.
3. Cabinet tasked officers to look at the most effective way to protect land at Bent Lane and Balcarres Green from future housing development.
