(see also Minute 221)

Minute 5 refers

The Panel considered an updated version of the Council’s Local Development Scheme (LDS), the schedule and work programme that set out the timeline for preparation of the District Plan.  This would replace the LDS May 2016 (Version 6).

The schedule and work programme set out the timeline for the preparation of the District Plan.

In response to Members’ comments on the potential for a delay in the adoption of the District Plan caused by a legal challenge, Officers expressed confidence that the submitted Plan was sound.  The Leader warned of the dangers of a delay and the impact this would have on the Council’s ability to resist inappropriate development.

The Panel supported the recommendation, as now detailed.

RECOMMNEDED – that the Local Development Scheme (LDS) September 2017, attached at Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ of the report submitted, be agreed to take effect from September 2017.
