41 Local Plan Examination Hearing (00-02-18) pdf icon PDF 90 KB

Report of the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration outlining the dates for the preliminary hearings for the examination of the Mid Devon Local Plan Review and requesting that delegated authority be given to the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration and officers to follow instructions from the appointed Inspector to assist with the examination of the Local Plan Review.

 

 

 

Minutes:

The Cabinet had before it a * report of the Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration requesting delegated authority to follow instructions from the appointed Inspector to assist with the examination of the Local Plan Review.

 

Forward Planning Team Leader stated that the requests within the report were necessary for the smooth running of the examination process and that the necessary delegated authority would allow Planning Officers and others to work with the Inspector if required.  Throughout the course of the examination, the Inspector may ask for additional information, this could include papers and statements with responses required on specific issues and could include responses to supplementary questions not previously responded to in hearing statements. It was possible that the Inspector may ask officers to undertake additional work and also engage with other participants in providing information to assist the Inspectors examination of the Local Plan.

 

Consideration was given to:

 

·         The need to be prepared to work with the Inspector effectively

·         How Members would be kept informed

·         The possible timings for the rest of the examination process and why 2013 was still mentioned in the title of the Plan.

 

RECOMMENDED to Council that:

 

Delegated authority be given to:

 

i)             Officers to follow instructions from the appointed Inspector to assist with the examination of the Local Plan Review.

 

ii)            The Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Regeneration to agree upon a set of proposed main modifications if arising during the examination process (most likely at the very end of the examination process) and if asked by the Inspector to do so, and seek approval from the Council to consult on these together with any updated Sustainability Appraisal.

 

(iii)         The Head of Planning, Economy and Regeneration the ability to make any presentational improvements or other consequential minor changes (e.g. correcting typographical errors or factual inaccuracies and matters of clarification) to the Local Plan or its Policies Map prior to the consultation on proposed main modifications commencing.

 

(Proposed by Cllr R J Chesterton and seconded by Cllr Mrs M E Squires)
