Agenda item
Local Plan Strategic Objectives
To consider the Local Plan Strategic Objectives report.
Decision:
RESOLVED to approve the draft vision and objectives for the new Local Plan as recommended by the LPLG.
Minutes:
Councillor Evans, as Portfolio Holder for Planning and the Local Plan, outlined the report and the Supplementary Paper. He commended Stephen Miles (Local Plans and New Communities Manager) for the quick turnaround of his reports and thanked other officers for their contributions. He referred to the draft vision and objectives within the documents and said that this product had been the result of harmonious working within LPLG and that best practice had been followed.
He said that the language of the plan needed to be clear and he encouraged everyone to review the information outlined in the Supplementary Paper. He said that LPLG would come back to Cabinet in July with further ideas, particularly in respect of potential development locations.
Councillor Reeve said that he supported the content and the vision and recognised that the process would evolve.
Councillor Lees said that Members would have the opportunity to refine wording over time.
Councillor Caton referred to Paragraph 1.2.5 of the Supplementary Paper which included reference to “the local benefits of Stansted Airport”; he asked whether the Administration had any plans as to how to respond in light of the recent Planning Appeal decision.
The Leader said that it was far too early to look at next steps and that he was disappointed that no advance notification of the decision had been given to the Council. He said next steps were under consideration.
Councillor Evans proposed and Councillor Armstrong seconded the recommendation in the report.
RESOLVED to approve the draft vision and objectives for the new Local Plan as recommended by the LPLG.
The meeting ended at 7.40pm.
