Issue - items at meetings - Revised Local Development Scheme, 2014 – 2017

Report of the Executive Director, Environment, Development and Housing (copy attached)

RESOLVED – (1) That the Committee approves the revised Local Development Scheme 2014-2017; and

(2) That the Committee resolves that the scheme is to have effect from 19 June 2014.

14.1    The Committee considered a report of The Executive Director of Environment seeking approval of the revised Local Development Scheme (LDS), a three year work programme which set out the timetable for preparation of the set of documents which made up the development plan for Brighton & Hove to cover the period from 2014 to  2017.

14.2    Councillor Brown supported the work that had been carried out but referred to the supporting studies which were referred to in the report, whilst some of them had been updated there were several e.g., the Infrastructure Capacity Assessment which did not appear to have been updated since 2006 querying whether there was a need for these documents to be updated. The Head of Planning Strategy stated that further updating of the existing documents was not required at present, as these documents had been revisited and any necessary changes made, he would however ensure that measures were in place to ensure that documents were updated and amended over time as appropriate.

14.3    RESOLVED – (1) That the Committee approves the revised Local Development Scheme 2014-2017; and

(2) That the Committee resolves that the scheme is to have effect from 19 June 2014.
