Planning

To review the timetable and scope for preparing the next Local Plan and consider the consequent proposal to update the Local Development Scheme.

Resolved:

1.  That the Test Valley Local Development Scheme (2021), as Annexed to the report, be approved.

2.  That the Head of Planning Policy and Economic Development, in consultation with the Planning Portfolio Holder, be authorised to make changes of a minor nature to the Test Valley Local Development Scheme (2021) prior to publication. 

Consideration was given to a report of the Planning Portfolio Holder which set out the scope for preparing the Local Plan and amendments to the Local Development Scheme to reflect the amended timetable.

The revised timetable for the Local Plan would enable the Council to take an evidence led approach, taking into account current circumstances and ensuring engagement and consultation could be considered and reflected in the Local Plan.

Having considered the options and for the reasons set out in the report, Cabinet agreed the following:

Resolved:

1.  That the Test Valley Local Development Scheme (2021), as Annexed to the report, be approved.

2.  That the Head of Planning Policy and Economic Development, in consultation with the Planning Portfolio Holder, be authorised to make changes of a minor nature to the Test Valley Local Development Scheme (2021) prior to publication.
