Decision details

Consideration was given to a revised programme for preparing the draft Local Plan for inclusion in the Local Development Scheme for 2012-14.  The Local Development Scheme is a statutory document setting out the plans and policies the Council seeks to rely on in decision making.  The revised programme aimed to ensure that the Council had a three year programme for the preparation of the various documents making up the Local Plan but also to allow sufficient time for input for Members, local Councils and key stakeholders. 

RESOLVED

1.      That the proposed Core Strategy and Site Allocations Timetable, as set out in Appendix 3, be included within the Local Development Scheme.

2.      That, notwithstanding the powers already delegated by full Council and recorded in the Constitution, but for the avoidance of doubt, the Portfolio Holder for Performance and Capacity be granted delegated power to approve all elements of the Final Local Development Scheme as would be lawfully exercisable by the Cabinet.

3.      That Cabinet further consider measures and resources that would enable an improved ‘two stage’ timetable for site allocations to be achieved.
