That the allocation of housing development to the site known as “the Tamworth Golf Course” in Amington be deleted and added to the number of houses which Tamworth Borough Council cannot meet from within it’s own boundaries. That the Council add a note to the plan inviting applications to develop housing on brownfield sites within the borough. This was seconded by Councillor P Standen.

Following a named vote, this was not carried.
