Site Allocations - Development Plan Document 2014-2029 - Proposed Modifications Consultation
The report is at item 8 of the agenda (pages 29 to 31) for the Cabinet’s meeting on Tuesday 9 January 2018 and its two appendices are in the agenda supplement (pages 44 to 95) - a copy of the supplement is enclosed with this agenda for all members who did not receive it as part of the Cabinet papers.
The Cabinet made the following recommendation to the Council at this meeting:
(1) That the Site Allocation Development Plan Document Further Proposed Main Modifications (set out in appendix 1 to the agenda report) and the Further Proposed Minor Modifications (set out in appendix 2 to the agenda report) be approved for public consultation, subject to amending the heading to the document in appendix 1 by substituting ‘Proposed’ for ‘Inspector’s’.
(2) That authority be delegated to the Head of Planning Services, following consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning Services, to enable minor editorial and typographical amendments to be made to the document prior to publication.
Minutes:
The Council considered the recommendation made to it by the Cabinet at its meeting on Tuesday 9 January 2018, as set out on the face of the Council agenda, the details in respect of which were contained in the Cabinet report (pages 29 to 31) and its two appendices in the Cabinet agenda supplement (pages 44 to 95).
Mrs Taylor (Cabinet Member for Planning Services) formally moved the Cabinet’s recommendations and this was seconded by Mrs Lintill (Cabinet Member for Community Services).
Mrs Taylor summarised the report by explaining the nature and purpose of the Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) and referring to the two categories of proposed modifications set out in the two appendices; the modifications but not the documents would be the subject of a forthcoming consultation. The planning inspector would consider all the representations received and, if necessary, hold further hearing sessions.
Mrs Taylor responded to members’ questions and comments on points of detail with respect to (a) the current assessment underway into whether student housing numbers could be included in the five-year housing supply calculation (deleted from the MM11 entry in the table on page 59 of the agenda supplement); (b) the numbers in the DPD were the allocations in the current Chichester Local Plan: Key Policies 2014-2029 and were not new numbers; and (c) the consultation would make it clear that representations should be confined to the modifications only.
Decision
On a show of hands members voted in favour of the Cabinet’s recommendation with none against and no abstentions.
The Cabinet’s recommendation was, therefore, carried.
