REVISED CARMARTHENSHIRE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2018 -2033 REPRESENTATIONS RECEIVED AND FOCUSED CHANGES

Minutes:

[NOTE:  Councillor J. Tremlett had earlier declared an interest in this item.]

 

The Executive Board considered a report detailing representations received on the Revised Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan 2018-2033 in response to the Council’s decision on the 10th January 2018 to formally commence the preparation of a Revised (Replacement) LDP. That resolution included a six week public consultation undertaken between the 29th January 2020 and, following an extension of over two weeks, closed on the 27th March 2020. That was subsequently supplemented by a further 3 week consultation closing on the 2nd October 2020 to reflect the impact of the closure of public buildings during the final few weeks of the consultation due to the Covid-19 pandemic.


The Board noted that the report set out the responses received to the consultation and sought to set out a series of Focused Changes proposed in response to recommendations received along with those which may have emerged as a result of changes in legislation, guidance, evidence or in the interest of clarity and meaning. They also provided an opportunity to incorporate and respond to issues arising from Covid-19, as reported to Council in the Covid-19 Assessment in association with the Revised Delivery Agreement on the 22nd October, 2020.

 

It was noted that some amendments needed to be made to Appendices 2, 8 and 9 prior to submission to Full Council.
