Local Development Scheme

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Decision made

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

This will report on the Local Development Scheme (LDS) and the progress on the Local Develoment Framework. The draft LDS needs to be submitted to the Planning Inspectorate by Christmas so that the Council can meet the deadline for formal submission to GOSE at the end of March 2005.

Decision:

458/2004 The Cabinet agreed that the Council prepare a core strategy, a housing and mixed use site specific development plan document and a reduced number of Supplementary Planning Documents instead of a full set of documents as originally intended.
459/2004 The Cabinet agreed that the Local Development Scheme as redrafted be submitted to the Planning Inspectorate prior to submission to GOSE for approval.
460/2004 The Cabinet agreed that the Director of Development and Environment, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Planning and Economic Development, be authorised to make minor amendments to the Local Development Scheme.

Reasons for the decision:

The revised Local Development Scheme follows the advice of GOSE, more closely reflecting the new system of continuous revision required by the Planning Act, and enables the Council to meet the deadline in 2007 whilst protecting the Council's planning delivery grant.
