Decision:

RESOLVED BY THE CABINET

 

1.     That the publication of the Authority’s Monitoring Report 2017-2018 on Chichester District Council’s website be approved as amended.

2.     That the Director of Planning and Environment be authorised following consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning Services to make any minor editorial amendments to the document prior to its publication.

Minutes:

This item was presented by Mrs Taylor (Cabinet Member for Planning Services). Mrs Owen (Principle Planning Policy Officer) and Mr Guymer (Principle Planning Officer) were also in attendance.

 

Mrs Taylor explained that the annual report assesses the implementation and performance of the Local Plan from April 2017 until March 2018 but does not include the South Downs National Park. The exceptions to this being Policies EN1 and EN6 in the environment section, which relate to the whole of the district and Policy EN3 which relates to a section of the Solent shoreline as it includes data from Warblington.

 

Mrs Taylor wished to highlight that 557 new dwellings had been completed in the year to March 2018 which exceeds the Local Plan requirement of 435 net dwellings per year. There is now a shortfall of 247 net dwellings since the base date of the Local Plan (1 April 2012). Exceeding the requirement has reduced the shortfall and the Government buffer requirement has therefore been reduced from 20% to 5%.

 

Mrs Taylor confirmed that good progress has been made on the Strategic Sites allocated in the Local Plan with 294 dwellings completed since 2012. With regard to CIL receipts for financial year 2017/18 they totalled over £2.85 million of which £563,588.71 was passed to the parish council’s. With regard to employment floor space completions there was a total of 29,416.3 square metres progress towards the Local Plan target of 25 hectares of additional employment land in 2017/18. In addition phase 2 of Glenmore Business Park is under construction and the Chichester Enterprise Centre is complete. 

 

Mrs Taylor confirmed that minor amendments to the report had been made as set out in supplements three and four to the agenda pack and an additional recommendation had been added.
