Decision details

To seek approval of the revised Local Development Scheme (version 9) to set the timeline for Local Plan preparation and adoption.

RESOLVED:  That

(1)            the revised Local Development Scheme (LDS) as set out in Appendix 1 to the officer report, be approved; and

(2)            it be agreed that the scheme take effect from 25 February 2023, subject to call-in.

Reason for Decision:  Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended), the Council had a statutory duty to maintain an up-to-date LDS.  The revised LDS would fulfil the requirement under the Localism Act 2022 to update the LDS every three years.
