Decision details

Cabinet received a report following the approval of the Council’s Local Development Scheme (LDS) by Cabinet in July 2015, which identified that the Council would prepare a Preliminary Draft version of the Local Plan for public consultation in January 2016.

The purpose of the report is for Cabinet to approve the Preliminary Draft version of the Local Plan for public consultation.

Cabinet considered the report and RESOLVED:

1.    To approve the Preliminary Draft version of the Peterborough Local Plan for public consultation starting in early 2016; and

2. To delegate authority to officers to make any minor, inconsequential amendments to the Document prior to its publication (in order to correct matters of fact or aid clarity to the reader).

Cabinet was asked to approve the Preliminary Draft version of the Local Plan so that public consultation could be carried out on the document. 

The alternative option of not preparing a new Local Plan was rejected by Cabinet in July 2015 as part of the approval of Local Development Scheme.

The alternative options for each policy would be assessed as part of the Local Plan Sustainability Appraisal Report to be published in January 2016 alongside the Preliminary Draft Local Plan for public consultation. Consultation will also help inform the Council of options which could be considered as the plan progresses.

None.
