The Executive considered and supported the recommendations of the District Planning Executive Panel meeting held on 21 February 2013, in respect of the East herts Local Plan Second Review (April 2007) – National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) Compatibility Self-Assessment Checklist.

RECOMMENDED – that (A) the NPPF Compatibility Self Assessment Checklist at Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ of the report submitted, be noted; and

(B)   the policies in the East Herts Local Plan Second Review (April 2007) continue to be given due weight in accordance with paragraph 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

The Panel considered a report which assessed how well the current East Herts Local Plan Second Review (April 2007) reflected the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and accompanying ‘Planning policy for traveller sites’.  The assessment had demonstrated that the overall aims and policies of the current Local Plan fitted well with the NPPF.  However, some areas of the Local Plan did not fully conform with the NPPF, in particular, the Council could not demonstrate a 5 year supply of deliverable housing sites.

The Panel supported the recommendations as now detailed.

RECOMMENDED – that (A) the NPPF Compatibility Self Assessment Checklist at Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ of the report submitted, be noted; and

(B)      the policies in the East Herts Local Plan Second Review (April 2007) continue to be given due weight in accordance with paragraph 215 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
