Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill: Reforms to National Planning Policy pdf icon PDF 350 KB

To consider a report by the Director for Economy, attached as item 8.

Minutes:

The Adur Planning Policy Manager delivered the report and clarified that although the consultation period had closed an Officer’s response had been submitted and It had been made clear that it would be followed up by a Members endorsed version.

 

Members made comments regarding question 30 in the responses document (Appendix 1). It was thought that the word ‘behaviour’ should be amended to ‘record’ or ‘credibility’ and discussions led to the view it was right and proper that an applicant's track record should be taken into account during decision making; also that failure to deliver to an appropriate quality should be taken into account.

 

It was noted that a question of how a proposed development fitted into an existing community (the wider context) should be included in question 50 and this should be included in the covering letter to the response. Members agreed that the proposed National Development Management policies should allow for flexibility to local policies and it was requested that this aspect also be included in the covering letter to the response.

 

With regards to question 26, comments were made by Members that this suggested change to the definition was agreeable as local community led providers are not always registered when they are starting out.

 

The Adur Planning Policy Manager confirmed to members that all the comments made today would be forwarded to the Executive Member as set out in the report’s recommendation.
