Decision details

(Report of Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health)

Further to Decision No D170029MEM, the report provided an update following the consultation exercise carried out between 30 September and 25 November 2016 on the emerging Local Plan.  A summary was given of the main issues raised in the responses to the consultation together with suggestions on how they might be taken into account. 

The report also updated progress in respect of the Local Plan evidence base and set out the next stages of the process.  A revised timetable, necessitated by the calling of the General Election in June, was presented and proposed arrangements for Member workshops during the early autumn discussed.  It was noted that adjustment of the dates of the September and November meetings of the Advisory Board might be required.  An undertaking was given to advise Members when the position statement on the website was updated as further evidence became available.

Following consideration by the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Street Scene and Environment Services resolved that:

The content of the report be noted and the revised Local Plan timetable set out at Annex 3 to the report be approved.

[In accordance with Paragraph 2 Annex 1 of the Executive Procedure Rules, the Leader nominated the Cabinet Member for Street Scene and Environment Services to take this decision in the absence of the Cabinet portfolio holder (Strategic Planning and Infrastructure).]
