A key legal requirement of the Local Plan
Review is that it must be prepared in accordance with an up-to-date
adopted Local Development Scheme (LDS). The current LDS was adopted
in January 2019 by delegated decision by the Portfolio Holder for
Planning and Economic Development, and was published to the
council's website. This LDS set the overarching timetable for the
Local Plan Review.
However, this document requires some factual update and minor
amendments ahead of the Local Plan being considered by Cabinet/Full
Council for Publication and Submission in order to reflect the
current position:
1. Extending the time period covered from ‘2019 –
2021’ to ‘2020 – 2022’.
2. Updates to the description of the Local Plan Review (confirming
the review as a formal update for the Plan) and the timetable in
order to reflect the slight delay in the Reg. 18 consultation; the
timetable going forward is as established in the January adopted
LDS.
3. Updates to reflect the evidence base progress.
4. Inclusion of reference to potential other DPDs which may need to
be progressed following the Local Plan Review.
5. Inclusion of reviews for a number of the adopted SPDs which will
be affected by the Local Plan Review, and reference to updating the
guidance on Planning Obligations (the intention will be to
establish contributions through an Annex in the Local Plan, as this
can no longer be done through SPD).
