REPORT:

The Chief Executive notes the text change proposed for Section 4.3. The text changes remove the reference to the phasing bands of 2,000 units.

The purpose of the existing text is to detail the rationale of the Planning Authority for applying the phasing band of 2,000 units in the following Table 4.3.

In the context that Table 4.3 has 2,000 unit phasing bands, the Chief Executive disagrees with the removal of the 2,000 unit reference.
