Decision details

Arising from a *report of the Head of Housing and Property Services, the Managing the Environment Policy Development Group had recommended that the design guidance be agreed and that officers develop the guidance as a supplementary planning document.

The Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Regeneration stated that the intention of the document was to provide guidance to developers on how adequate storage facilities could be incorporated into the design of new residential development schemes.  The intention was for a supplementary planning document to be created to require that adequate storage be put in place within new developments.

Consideration was given to the wording within paragraph 4 (page 33) of the document and Members requested that the words “may” be replaced with “must” and “should” be replaced with “must”.

RESOLVED that subject to the words “may” to be replaced with “must” and “should” to be replaced with “must” in paragraph 4 on page 33, the recommendation of the Policy Development Group be approved.
