Decision details
Local Plan Partial Update: Main Modifications
Decision Maker: Director Development and Public Protection
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The Local Plan Partial Update (LPPU) has been
prepared in order to ensure that, upon its adoption, the Council's
planning policy framework better addresses the climate and
ecological emergencies and that the Core Strategy housing
requirement can be met in a plan-led manner. As such it needs to be
adopted as swiftly as possible.
The LPPU is currently being examined by a Planning Inspector. The
Inspector requires that some changes (known as Main Modifications)
are needed to the LPPU for soundness. These Main Modifications need
to be subject to public consultation for a period of six weeks
prior to the Inspector issuing his final Report and the LPPU
progressing towards adoption.
The main modifications need to be agreed for public consultation as
a matter of urgency. Given the time critical and urgent nature of
the decision it has been delegated to Sophie Broadfield, Director
of Sustainable Communities, in consultation with Group Leaders and
the Chair of the Council under rule 3.4.3
Decision:
To agree the Schedule of Main Modifications to
the LPPU for consultation for a period of 6 weeks.
To agree the Schedule of Additional Modifications to the LPPU for
publication (not consultation).
Alternative options considered:
No other options were considered (originally
the decision was scheduled to have been made by full Council on
15th September but the Council meeting was cancelled).
