Minutes:
(NOTE:
1. Councillor G.B. Thomas having earlier declared an interest in this item left the meeting during its consideration by the Committee;
2. Councillors A. Davies and A. Vaughan Owen had earlier declared an interest in this item).
The Committee considered a report on the Revised Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan 2018-2033 Draft Pre-Deposit Preferred Strategy produced in response to the Council’s decision on the 10th January, 2018 to commence preparation works on the revised plan, and which represented an important milestone in the Council delivering on its statutory responsibilities to prepare an up-to-date plan for the County (excluding the area falling within the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority)
It was noted that the report contained 344 representations received in response to the public consultation exercise undertaken between the 12th December, 2018 and the 8th February, 2019. Those representations, together with officer responses and recommendations and the background to the Preferred strategy were detailed within the following appendices to the report:-
- Appendix 1 – Draft Pre-Deposit Preferred Strategy – Background;
- Appendix 2 – Preferred Strategy – Summary of Representations & Response - Recommendations;
- Appendix 3 – Sustainability Appraisal / Strategic Environmental Assessment Initial Report – Representations Received;
- Appendix 4 – Habitat Regulation Assessment Screening Report – representations Received;
- Appendix 5 - Sustainability Appraisal / Strategic Environmental Assessment Scoping Report – Representations Received
It was noted that the report had been endorsed by the Executive Board at its meeting on the 7th May and would be considered by the Council for formal adoption on the 15th May, 2019.
The following questions/issues were raised on the report:-
· The Forward Planning Manager in response to a question on the inclusion of candidate sites within the revised LDP, confirmed that any any person or organisation, including the county council, wishing to include a parcel of land would have had to submit that site to the Council the end of August, 2018. A total of 926 candidate sites had been submitted by that date with some 4,000 responses having been received to the subsequent public consultation. The department was currently analysing all 926 sites to assess their appropriateness and deliverability with that process anticipated to be completed by late summer 2019. If, following that assessment, any site was considered to be undeliverable, or contrary to the Plans Strategy or national policy it would not be considered appropriate for inclusion within the Deposit Plan.
· In response to a question on the practice of ‘land banking’ the Committee was advised that currently within Carmarthenshire there were over 10,000 undelivered units remaining with a large percentage of those not coming forward. As part of the process involved in reviewing the current LDP their future inclusion would be challenged and if they were deemed unlikely to come forward for development or not deliverable, such sites may therefore not be included or re-allocated within the revised LDP.
UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED THAT IT BE RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL THAT:-
6.1 |
the representations received in respect of the Draft Pre-Deposit Preferred Strategy be noted and the recommendations ratified |
6.2 |
The representations received in respect of the Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA/SEA) Initial Report, Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) Screening Report and the LDP Review Report be noted and the recommendations ratified; |
6.3 |
Delegated authority be granted to officers to:- · amend the Preferred Strategy in light of the recommendations emerging from the SA/SEA, HRA process and emerging evidence as part of the preparation of the Deposit LDP; · make non substantive typographical or factual amendments as necessary to improve the clarity and accuracy of the Preferred Strategy. |
