Decision details

The Cabinet Member considered a report seeking approval for the Local Development Scheme 2010-2014.

The Local Development Scheme set out a programme and timetable for the preparation of documents for the Cheshire East Local Development Framework. The Scheme was the starting point for people to find out about the Council’s timetable for preparing the various documents of the Local Development Framework, the status of each document and the policies contained in it.

Progress with the preparation of the Local Development Framework documents would be reviewed annually as part of the Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report. The Local Development Scheme would be updated in the light of the annual review and at such other times as circumstances required.

The Coalition Government had announced that it intended to bring forward proposals to review the plan making process. Once the legislation had been passed, its provisions would be taken into account in future reviews of the Local Development Scheme.

The Council had consulted the Government Office for the North West in the development of the Scheme.

RESOLVED

That the Local Development Scheme 2010-2014 be approved.
