The Panel considered a report bringing Members’ attention to the issues raised through the Preferred Options consultation in connection with the Appendices to the Draft District Plan Preferred Options version, together with Officer responses to those issues.  Members were also presented with a revised Appendix C: Monitoring Framework and Appendix D: Glossary.  The report sought agreement to include these appendices within the East Herts District Plan Pre-Submission Version, 2016.

The Officer explained that Appendix C: OpenSpace Standards’ was proposed for deletion.  As a result, the Monitoring Framework, formerly labelled as Appendix D, would be renamed as ‘Appendix C: Monitoring Framework’.  This updated position in respect of these appendices reflected both the Officer proposed responses to representations made to the Preferred Options Consultation in 2014 and also to ensure alignment with the Pre-Submission Plan. 

In respect of Appendix D ‘Glossary’, (previously Appendix E), the Officer explained that while no representations were made at the Preferred Options stage, this had been rewritten to reflect numerous changes in local and wider circumstances and was attached at Essential Reference Paper ‘D’ to the report, (and not Essential Reference Paper ‘C’ as detailed in paragraph 2.4 of the report).  Two further amendments were proposed within Essential Reference Paper ‘D’, which would be addressed within the following report on the agenda papers.

Councillor G Jones sought and was provided with clarification in relation to the Council’s Parking Standards and where these would be included within the District Plan i.e. that standards would not be included within the Plan itself, but that a revised Vehicle Parking at New Development Supplementary Planning Document would be produced to bring forward updated standards at the earliest opportunity post adoption of the Plan.

The Panel supported the recommendations as now detailed.
