Decision details

The Cabinet had before it a * report of the Head of Planning and Regeneration seeking approval to publish the draft supplementary planning document (SPD) for public consultation.

The Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Regeneration outlined the contents of the report highlighting the background to the formulation of the guidance based on the principles of ensuring that all new households were provided with adequate refuse storage.  The SPD complemented existing Local Plan policy on design of housing (DM14) which required adequate external space.

Consideration was given to:

·         a new development that had been viewed by Members and that any good examples could be identified and incorporated into the final version of the document

·         the possible publicity of the SPD

RESOLVED that:

a)    The draft Refuse Storage and New Residential Properties Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) be approved for public consultation.

b)    Delegated authority be given to the Head of Planning and Regeneration in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Regeneration to finalise consultation material.

(Proposed by Cllr R J Chesterton and seconded by Cllr N V Davey)
