Local Plan 2036 - Update
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Decision:
To note progress with the preparation of Local Plan 2036.
Reasons for the decision:
An update with progress of the preparation of Local Plan 2036, following the update report in December 2018 (CAB 3084(LP)).
The government published a further version of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) in February 2019, clarifying various matters, but in essence establishing the standard method for calculating housing need, which is set out below.
Early engagement with parish councils has taken place in the form of two workshops and officers are currently focussing on procuring the technical evidence base to inform Local Plan 2036.
Alternative options considered:
It is a statutory requirement to have an up to date local plan and failure to do so creates uncertainty for businesses and investment and for local communities having to deal with speculative planning applications. Options for development will be assessed as part of the Local Plan process.
Reason Key: Significantly effect on 2 or more wards;
Wards Affected: (All Wards);
