Sustainable Construction Checklist Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Review (WL)
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for PIanning and Licensing
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The Sustainable Construction Checklist
Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) sets out guidance on the
information that applicants for planning permission are required to
submit in order to demonstrate how the proposed development meets
sustainable construction standards. The SPD needs to be reviewed
and updated so that it outlines information required to meet the
requirements of updated policy in the Local Plan Partial Update
that is due to be adopted later this year. This report seeks
approval of publication of a draft SPD for consultation.
Decision:
To agree that:
- The amended draft Sustainable Construction Checklist Supplementary Planning Document (Appendix 1) is issued for statutory consultation under Regulation 12(b) of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012; and
Reasons for the decision:
The updates to The Checklist SPD are required to reflect the changes to policies updated in the LPPU. The changes to the Checklist SPD will allow for clear and simple reporting of new energy and carbon targets introduced in the LPPU policies. A more efficient reporting layout has also been provided, to ensure Development Management officers can assess policy compliance easily.
Alternative options considered:
None.
The SPD mainly provides guidance on development plan policy requirements and national policy and does not create policy.
