Report of Cabinet Member for Planning and Building Control

RESOLVED THAT:

1.            the updated Local Development Scheme for Cheltenham Borough,attached tothe report at Appendix3, is adopted with immediate effect;  

2.            authority is delegated to the Director of Community and Economic Development, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning and Building Control, to prepare the Local Development Scheme for publication, correcting any minor errors of spelling, grammar, and typographical and formatting changes that do not affect the substantive content of the Local Development Scheme.

The Cabinet Member for Planning and Building Control said this document outlines the timetable for preparing the statutory development plan, which needs to be updated following the change in government and its recent announcements under Planned for Change, including updates to the National Planning Policy Framework and others, all referenced in the report.  By law, the council needs to have an LDS as part of its Local Plan, in addition to a strategic local plan with its partners.  As set out on Page 226 of the report, the LDS complies with the council’s five corporate priorities.

The Leader commented that this is an important document which can easily be overlooked, and its links with our corporate priorities are reflected in the paper.
