Decision Made
1. That the draft Norfolk and Suffolk Local Industrial Strategy be endorsed prior to its submission to central government.
2. That delegated authority be given to the Head of Economic Development and Regeneration in consultation with the Cabinet Member with responsibility for Economic Development to agree any changes to the draft Norfolk and Suffolk Local Industrial Strategy prior to its submission to central government.
Reason for Decision
The LIS sets out the economic opportunity areas in the region along with the area’s underpinning sectors and as such highlights and promotes economic growth opportunities in East Suffolk. Furthermore, the LIS will be an instrumental document in guiding future government investment in the regional economy growth and East Suffolk is well placed to benefit significantly from this. As such Cabinet’s endorsement of the LIS supported the Council’s continuing objective to enable economic growth in the district.
Alternative Options Considered and Rejected
Cabinet could have chosen not to endorse the Norfolk and Suffolk Local Industrial Strategy, but this would have been contrary to the Council’s business plan priority to enable inclusive economic growth and to build on the Council’s strong relationship with New Anglia LEP. If the Council was not able to endorse the strategy then this could weaken the region’s credibility with government, limit any future funding that can be negotiated and impact on the level of central government resources that were ultimately allocated to the New Anglia area.
Any Declarations of Interest Declared

Any Dispensation Granted
