Review of the Local Development Framework - A New Local Plan for the Borough |
The report of the Director of Planning, Transport and Leisure responded to the Government's reforms to the planning system by considering a review of the Local Development Framework (LDF) towards a new Local Plan. Key matters for consideration would be to assess the evidence base necessary for undertaking the review, the resource implications, including responding to other requirements on the planning service. Members noted the financial and value for money considerations, the risk assessment and potential resource implications as set out in the report. The Advisory Board also recognised the significant amount of work arising from the Governments reforms and the challenging decision making for the future in meeting development requirements in the Borough. RECOMMENDED: That the contents of the report be noted and a programme of work towards the new Local Plan be developed and progressed at the earliest opportunity under the guidance of a new Member panel. *Referred to Cabinet |
