Additional documents:

Decision:

That the Interim Executive Director Place be granted permission to begin the process of formal Public Consultation on the proposed Local Development Order at Reaseheath College ahead of its submission to the Strategic Planning Board during autumn 2016.

Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning considered a report on commencing a formal public consultation on the introduction of Local Development Order (LDO) for Reaseheath College.

 

During March 2015, the Council had been successful in its bid for funding to DEFRA and £50,000 had been awarded to assist in the preparation of a LDO  at the College location. The award of funding was to cover the costs of producing the detailed information required to prepare an LDO, as well as to facilitate key stages, including Public Consultation and related exercises.

 

Reaseheath College had continued to expand over recent years and had a number of aspirational projects which it was seeking to deliver through the remit of the LDO, once adopted.  A site plan, which was appended to the report, identified the 6 sites which had been earmarked for development, through extensive consultation with the College and within the Council, the outline proposals for which were set out in the report.

 

RESOLVED

 

That the Interim Executive Director of Place be granted permission to begin the process of formal Public Consultation on the proposed Local Development Order at Reaseheath College, ahead of its submission to the Strategic Planning Board during autumn 2016.
