• Against (5): Councillors Burton, Cressey, Olorenshaw, D Whyte and S Whyte.

• Abstention (5): Councillor Chaudhri, Howorth, Hulley, Lewis and P Sohi.

The Leader of the Independent Group stated that whilst the Plan had been judged sound by the Inspector, he considered that there were flaws in relation to Policies SL1-SL18 in respect of parcels of land allocated for development and their proposed densities.
