Issue - meetings

The Executive Board was advised that the County Council at its meeting on 10th January 2018 approved to formally commence the preparation of a Revised (replacement) Local Development Plan (LDP), along with the Welsh Government’s approval of the Delivery Agreement on the 28th June 2018 including its timetable for Plan preparation. 

In accordance with that recommendation, the Executive Board considered a report on the Revised Local Development Plan 2018 which sets out the Draft Preferred Strategy by identifying the Council’s land use Vision, strategic objectives and strategic growth requirements for the County through to 2033.  The following supporting documents were appended to the report:

·       Draft Pre-Deposit Preferred strategy

·       Draft Initial Sustainability Appraisal (which incorporates the Strategic Environmental Statement)

·       Population and Household Forecasts – Briefing Paper

The Executive Board noted, that the Draft Preferred Strategy had been prepared to reflect the Council’s statutorily responsibilities to produce the revised LDP under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

The report sought Executive Board approval for its publication as part of a formal public consultation for a minimum statutory period of 6 weeks.  The Draft Preferred Strategy, as identified within the Delivery Agreement, would be published in December 2018. 

UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED TO RECOMMEND TO COUNCIL;

12.1    that the content of the Draft Preferred Strategy (and supporting documents) for the Revised Local Development Plan 2018 – 2033 for formal public consultation be approved;

12.2     to grant officers delegated authority to make non-substantive typographical or factual amendments as necessary to improve the clarity and accuracy of the Draft Preferred Strategy.
