Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Cabinet received a report which was submitted following the approval of the Council’s Local Development Scheme (LDS) by Cabinet in July 2015, which identified that the Council would prepare a new Local Plan by 2018.
The purpose of the report was for Cabinet to approve the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). If the SCI was approved by Cabinet, it would come into force with immediate effect (subject to call-in procedures), and would guide the Preliminary Draft Local Plan consultation due to take place in January 2016, and future consultation rounds. It also informed how the Council would consult on planning applications.
Cabinet considered the report and RESOLVED to adopt the Statement of Community Involvement.
Cabinet is asked to adopt the SCI so that up to date public consultation arrangements were in place for planning related matters.
The option of not updating the SCI was rejected, as this would mean that the new Local Plan consultation would be based on out dated requirements, and other elements of the current SCI did not accurately reflect legislation.
None.
None.
