Decisions published

15/06/2017 - Housing Enabling - Supplementary Planning Document (S106 - Housing Need Allocation - Exception sites) ref: 501    Recommendations Approved

Revision to the S106 Agreement.

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Made at meeting: 15/06/2017 - Cabinet

Decision published: 19/06/2017

Effective from: 24/06/2017

Decision:

Arising from a report of the Director of Operations, the Homes Policy Development Group had recommended that the new local need / qualification criteria in annexe 1 to the Meeting Housing Needs Supplementary Planning Document be approved.

 

The Cabinet Member for Housing outlined the contents of the report stating that the Meeting Housing Need Supplementary Planning Document (Annexe 1) required updating due to change in legislation. The report to the Housing PDG did not seek to change the Meeting Housing Needs Supplementary Planning Document itself but rather only change Annex 1, the local need / qualification criteria. The document also considered the armed forces provision with regard to social housing.

 

RESOLVED that the recommendation of the Policy Development Group be approved.

 

(Proposed by Cllr R L Stanley and seconded by Cllr R J Chesterton)
